[Boatanchors] Drying power transformer

[Vic Rosenthal]

I have a TV-type power transformer that a friend recently gave me which was 
sitting in his garage for several (maybe more than several) years.  He hooked it 
up and measured voltages, which are within spec.  The question is, before using 
it in a project, should I put it in the oven for a few hours at low temperature 
(say 150 f) to drive out any moisture?
