Hi Ed,

I do nst repairs all of the time.  I think that if you got it working, you 
are in good condition and the repair will last.  Ive only had one bad NST 
repair, where the secondary shorted through itself.  Maybe i will try the 
heatgun, i have one.  Did you leave the rest of the transformer in the tar?? 
  It would be better to take the whole thing out of tar to keep it from 
breaking down the tar on the original "good" side.  But hey man, cool!  i 
like hearing about people bringing dead transformers back to life, 
especially if you get them for free!

PS my repairs can take at least 4 hours!! more like 6-8 hours!!
