 Hi Ted,
I remember back at the Signal School we had to troubleshoot a huge teletype
MUX VF bay. The problem was introduced by the instructor. Turns out he drove 
a nail thru the backside of a chassis mounted bathtub capacitor. The lesson 
is 
take nothing for granted. After making sure that none of the NSTs has fried 
and the
MMC isn't smoked, I would get down to the basics of an ohmmeter check on each 
piece of wire while I twisted the wire between my fingers. Have you metered 
the AC primary 
currents individually and put an AC Voltmeter and an Ohmmeter across each NST 
primary Individually?
Sounds like you have a real dog.  :-))
