Being that I am a firm believer in the principles of the conservation of my 
finances and labor (you can say "cheap and lazy") I am trying to keep from 
bringing the transformer to my work bench.  I can still lift 70 pounds but I 
definitely don't like to if I can avoid it.  If necessary, I'll just use a 
filament transformer (like 6.3 VAC or 12.6 VAC) and bring it to the transformer.
