Er................ like what - I do it all the time!
Only point to mention is the warning lamp as it depends on your PT how you wire your lamp, if self wires you need a 6.3v lamp off the heaters of an output socket. If lugs you can simply hook up to the PT 120v tap as these are probably the lamps you have in the US, you wire the mains to the PT 240v tap as normal.
Otherwise build away!
