Dumb question, but how does it affect my old tube receivers slowly


bringing

up the voltage using my 12amp variable transformer versus a smaller one?


Is

it just overkill or is there some danger to the radio?

Simple answer. It will not cause any damage to your radio. All it means
is the variac will supply 12 amps and the smaller one less. Why would
you want to do this anyway?
