Hi there! I don't think you need to remove any shunts in that MOT.
All mot:s have shunts but they do very little in means of current limit
the transformer. In the microwave it's the capacitor in the voltage
doubler circuit that handles the current limiting. Go ahead and plug it
in you will most likely pop a breaker trying to draw an arc. And as
usual Be very careful MOT:s are very dangerous!!
Sincerely/David

Hi all,
   I recently dissected a small microwave oven (500W).  This lil MOT
might come in handy, but it's definitely current limited by
shunts.  There appears to be 8 on each side of the core.  The
question is...if I want to beef this lil critter up a bit,  how many
would you suggest I remove?  One other question is...do I keep the
remaining ones together or spaced and if together,  do I wedge them
up to the primary coil or keep them centered between the coils?
Mike
