Re: [TCML] NST shunt removal vs more NSTs

["Neal Namowicz" <neal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One disadvantage to multiple nst's is the weight factor, also. A while back 
I got carried away a bit and accumulated six 9kv 30ma nst's and paralleled 
them. Makes an awesome power supply @ 9kv 180ma, but there it still sits in 
my basement on top of an empty 5 gal. bucket, almost impossible to move. 
Maybe this summer I'll get a chance to add supports and wheels so I can move 
it around. I assembled the whole thing atop a 2'X2' piece of heavy plywood. 
It's great for jacob's ladders, too!
