Hi Adam, no point running these sets up on a variac. Snip out the mains filter cap located on the back of the on/off switch and apply mains. Make sure the sets are dry. Keep them in in a dry warm room for a week or so to be certain.

I worked on these sets for years when I worked for Rediffusion w/shop. I am restoring a CU2213 now. Malc.
