OK. Step 1 is strait forward enough. Check over your build list and parts.
Step 2 is somewhat different. The power transformers are laydown/drop-through/z-mount style. If you have an accurate PT like the Metro 1204-43 there should be 3 large solder posts on one side and 4 primary tabs (common-120-220-240) on the other. The primary tabs in 45/100s pointed towards the rear panel.
For the 1204-43, 45/100 PT you need to take the bolts that are already on the PT holding the top bell on, off, then use them to mount it to the chassis.
