Hi, Steve. I would say that a cap must be replaced when it's eight years old or more. Yes, the machine could be working perfectly but one never knows when the calamity strikes. So, try to identify the year of manufacturing. A point to be reminded is that a cap dries quicker when it's near a heat source as seems to be your case. Well, anyway you know: "if it works, don't fix it" ;o)
About the Variac point, I would say that your reasoning is OK.
Keep having fun with the "irons".
Bye.
Dr. Tube.
