The transformers were fun to assemble. It tries to solder the PCB end caps with the bottom edges as flat and aligned as I could. I put the standing on one end and added a little solder to the other end. Then flipped them over and soldered the other end. Then flipped them back again and soldered properly.
It took a lot of heat to melt the solder and I found it useful to move the soldering iron in circles around a tube's edge to melt all solder consistently.
Next I soldered the transformers to the PCB. This also took a lot of heat and some time. Now the project is much more three-dimensional and has a lot more heft. I look forward to firing up the amp (not literally, I hope, although that will surely happen anyway)!
