MRC 601 Dual Power Status?

SPFan:

OGR just did a review of this transformer in the latest issue.

I believe the thing can't receive UL approval because it uses a wiper touching the transformer windings to vary the voltage. Not sure what the issue is, but apparently UL doesn't like the design.

The transformer got a good review.

BTW, all of the postwar transformers out there are not UL approved.

I've been thinking of getting one the new(er) MRC Dual Power transformers but few if any dealer seems to have them in stock. I recall reading a while back there may be an issue with UL approval. Can anyone tell me if they are still available?
