I bought a damp stored 240 to 6kV HV transformer, and to dry it I
connected a mains driven variac to the HV side winding and two
paralleled 12V car headlamp bulbs to the primary side, and adjusted
the variac until it was running mildly warm, and left it running for a
few weeks. Worked fine, after that process. Maybe something
similar could dry it out from the "inside out" for yours?
