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?

As stated no effect, excpet in the case where you try to use it with
something that requires more than 12 Amps of current. Then you will get smoke
from the Variac How much smoke depends on:

1. How fast your reflexes are and:
2. How much more current than 12 amps the device requires.

:-D
