Yup, we probably could.

However... why a week? I put mine in the freezer overnight and most of the
next day...then I had at it with a hammer and chisel.

Worked like a charm. I can see the core and windings now. All I need to do is
get some solvent to finish off the last part. Really... the core is the bulk
of the whole thing and its metal, a great heat conductor... 

Ya know...the day after doing it...I was out on my motorcycle bringing my 
laundry ou tto be done. Sitting in a traffic jam...because the roads were being
repaved. I looked down at the fresh asphalt and thought of the freezing winter.

No wonder the roads around here suck!
