The Final Chassis Cuts
Went back out to my brother-in-laws shop tonight to get some help for the final cuts and holes to mount the transformers and circuit board.
We started with the power transformer, measured the dimensions and taped down a squre of blue tape for the dremel to follow. Shrill as a dentist drill, the dremel cut through the chasis thanks to the steady hand of my bro-in-law. It would have been
much easier to use a transformer that mounted on the top, but I couldn't find a PT with the specs Hunter calls for. I'm grateful to have a family member with a shop and some tools...
Next we carefully measured the holes for the output transformer. Hunter mentions that the OT wires will go under the circuit board, but after looking at my friend's Princeton clone, I realized I had plenty of room to run the OT wires around the board.
Finally drilled the holes for the stand-offs to mount the circuit board. T
he Radio Shack bolts were a bit too short for the 
the thickness of the
board, so we removed the washers. Everything fits great. Next- the fun b
egins- solder it all together.
