Wait until you blow it up before you unpot it.
Unpotting it is messy and many people damage a
perfectly good NST on their first unpotting job. The
only thing unpotting will do is allow you to remove
some of the current limiting shunts, giving you a
15/90 or maybe even a 15/120. Some have gone even
higher. The NST should probably then be run under oil.
