Let me coment the new NST idea!

I am a very good friend with a director of one company here that makes the
NST-s. If anybody is willing to pay shipping they will make anything for me!

15/60, 15/120, 15/250 just name it. And they will pot it with epoxy or just
put them in a HV lacquier and pull strong vacum. These will be strong
insulation and coils and shunts can be remowed... Affcourse without stupid
GFI.

If anybody intrested contact me off the list!

Best Regards
Kreso Bukvic
