Andy,

You may have just killed your NST with the gasoline.  I tried this with a
Jefferson Magnetek transformer and the solvent, I used varisol, eats the
insulation between the windings of the secondary.  Pull it out quick and
check.  I haven't yet applied juice to it to see if it's really dead.  -
I'm expecting smoke and fire. 8-O

Good luck,

Shaun Epp

Hi all,

    I finally got around to removing the metal case from my 12/30 NST so
that i
could finish removing the tar.  The tar came off very easy after this, and
both
secondaries read about 10 ohms to ground (i guess the tar shorted it out).
My
question is how is this transformer current limited?  I can't seem to
figure
out where the shunts are.  It is sitting in a bucket filled with gasoline
right
now and will be until next weekend.  If it helps it is a Jefferson Electric
NST.

Andy, KB3EWY
