If it were me I'd split a nut in half with a dremel tool and either affix
the halves to a vice grip pliar,or being careful to fit the threads of the
halves to the outermost threads of the offending post and grip the post via
the threaded nut halves. Then as the post is kept from turning just tighten
up the post nut. Hope this helps Cheers Binny.

Subject: [TCML] loose NST posts
I have a 15/60 Franceformer that has many long runs 5-8 minutes
on old coil. Have obtained a new one and am going to parallel it to power
upgraded coil. Noticed the HV posts are loose and would like input on
tightening things up before running. Have looked at various methods,
heating to melt tar to completely re-potting. Am worried about integrity of
loose posts. Any suggestion would sure help. Thanks and will definitely
post pics of upgrade when done, this time ! Thanks to everybody at TCML.
