Never leave the PTO, meter or any other plastics like that on the rig when
baking.
I always remove the PTO, meter, front panel and, of course all knobs and
tubes. It's basically a stripped chassis when it gets its wash and dry.
Never submerge - only wash with brushes and detergent, rinse thoroughly with
the sink sprayer above and below, then pour distilled water over it.
I take the rigs out to the shed before the oven for an encounter with an air
gun. That will remove most of the water.
Yes, you have to re-oil everything when you're done and on the A and B
receivers I also recommend removing the PBT coil carriage after cleaning to
clean the dried-out grease from the assembly.
The equipment looks and smells much better and runs cooler. After 40 - 50
years, even a clean-looking chassis is hiding a lot of dirt.

Oven temp that won't harm plastic? I am going to need the same thing for
several projects. I had simply planned to use "Warm" for 24 hours, but would
love to hear your (or anyone else's) version Steve!!! Thanks.

Ah, well, the T-4X is over in the corner for now and will require all my
tools to troubleshoot. I started on the first of the two R-4B's tonight,
have dismantled and washed it and it's now in the oven drying.
