Hi David,
 
that HP puck runs it's crystal at over 100 Degrees C, and the enclosure  
temperature of a typical OCXO gets to above 60C in still air.
 
They also have Tantalum caps, and anyone who has seen a fiery Tantalum cap  
explosion knows these things can be very dangerous.
 
You may wake up dead, or castrated.
 
I would not put that thing near my groin if I were you!
 
bye,
Said
