Original poster: "Alan Yang by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>" <megavolt121-at-mediaone-dot-net> For my last Jefferson NST, i just cut the shunts out. Dont do that if you can help it though because cutting them is tedious and takes a long time. I'd rather play with Allanson or Franceformer NSTs becuase i hear those shunts slide right out. alan
