I found (4) 6500/20 core and coil nst's on ebay (little 5lb-ers, 
think they were about 20$ each irrc, which isn't bad for brand new). 
No potting to mess with and the shunts can be knocked out with a 
screwdriver without breaking the welds. I just knocked out 1 side of 
each. Now I get 30 ma each (measured by inputting 12 vac on the 
primary and mulitplying x10 on a chinese special dmm). Was expecting 
40 ma with half the shunts gone, but will prob get that in a TC. 
Haven't been tested in a TC circuit yet, but now I can have it 
6.5/120, 13/60 or 26/30 with them set up like a 4-pack mot in oil 
(each is not mid-point grounded, just 1 end).
