Ok, time for me to do some more research. Most of my experience with magnetics is with inductors and transformers where nothing's moving but the electrons.

BTW, I've got an old panel mount variac that I pulled out of a cabinet I'm using for a project. I don't know the current rating offhand. (I'd guess at least 3 amps.) I'd sell it for $20 + shipping.
