I had to tear apart an FTS1200 that had a broken Dewar. I had trouble
getting it apart because that red rubber sheet was bonded to the glass
of the Dewar and the oven. Since the Dewar was smashed anyway, I was
able to dig the oscillator out by smashing the Dewar even more.
You might be able to slide something like a feeler guage down between
the oven and the rubber blanket to break the oscillator free. The oven
on mine is a plain metal cylinder. This way, the rubber sheet should
protect the Dewar from your feeler guage. On mine, the mounting bolts
for the 2N3792 transistor both have ground lugs. I think I see them on
yours. You could hook something through the ground lugs and use that to
pull the oscillator out of the rubber sheet and then remove the sheet
later.

But the EFC wire goes deeper, so I'll keep at it. It is fighting me the
whole way.
