Hi All,
Another update.

After disassembling the oscillator, I attempted to adjust it to get it near 10MHz with the EFC midrange. I was successful eventually, but I believe the piston cap is near its end of travel.  What a mess, the constant high internal temperature does a number on the glue, rubber gaskets and tape used to assemble the double oven.  

As suggested, I may not put the oscillator back together, but just keep it at the 10811 original package level.  To facilitate this, I will create a PCB that allow the different variants to be conveniently mounted.  I also want to accommodate other OCXOs like some of the Morion and Oscilloquartz oscillators found on Ebay.
