I just picked up seven NST's from my local sign shop and one of them was a
GFCI type. It wasn't working so I took the top off and found the gfci unit,
removed it and connected the incomming line wires to the coild primary and
it works fine. I don't know if all mfgs. follow the same mounting methods,
but this one was very easy to change.
The brand name was Franceformer.
