Default Re: HP 5245L counter crystal oscillator

I've managed to extract the guts from the crystal oven with minimal collateral damage (the heating element has lost a turn or so). The most effective tool was a padsaw with coarse teeth and a sharp point. That removed most of the foam, then some determined wiggling and wrenching of the inner aluminium cylinder with a pair of pliers did the trick. Now to check and rewire it.
