Tom, I was also a Tek tech, in the Dayton svc ctr 1975-1986.
One step Ed left out was before throwing it in the drying oven
blow out as much of the 'loose' water as you could with the air hose.
The oven ran around 125 F and had a big honking blower in it.
Even so, you wanted to get as much of the H2O out as you could
ahead of that.  Then give it a couple days baking.
