I have a 2kW constant voltage transformer which works by some ferromagnetic effect which I don't present recall in detail, but it produces a distinctly non-sinusoidal waveform. Now, a constant voltage suppy for my 163 would be nice, but when I tried it on the 163, that particular unit had quite a significant effect results obtained; unuseable!
