you are doing this backwards - (are you unpotting an NST? if yes, check the
tesla list archives) - put transformer in freezer (or better yet liquid N2)


Umm, have you priced N2 in liquid form? I've heard "it is cheap as
beer" but they never say what kind of beer: Sludgwillers or a microbrew.
But it was real neat when I poured the excess into my travel mug - sent
a plume of fog out the opening. Cool enough I'm almost willing to go
back over to assembly. Almost.

But the freezer trick is a cool alternative.
