RE: ideas on variable filament supplies?

In the primary side, current is low. A low power pot or rheostat would work fine there. It is common practice in high-power radio transmitters to adjust filament voltage, where filament current can be 20-30 amps. A low current adjustment in the 120VAC primary side is the way to do it.
