Hey Tom, I too recently had a nst made the same way.I tried heating it and
nothing happend. Since it was toasted I figured I couldn't hurt it anyway so
I tried to chip it out,again no luck. To make the story short it just
happend to fall under the 5 pound
sledge and that did the trick.Saved the parts that I could just in case they
could be used
later.     Ray   rchowes-at-msn-dot-com
