Thanks for the advice folks. I split the case and started beating on the 
block inside with a hammer and chisel (actually a flat screwdriver) I can't 
believe how strong the potting compound is. It's definitely not the kind of 
tar you can melt in the oven. No way the windings are coming out in one 
piece! And I'm not rewinding it either since I heard that it needs 12,000 
turns! I think I'll just junk it and go looking for a new NST after Christmas.
