Completed Steps 1 & 2

I had cataract surgery last week, and so far its been pretty straight forward.  My main thing is infection, so I am really careful about getting any dust or contaminants in my eyes.   In other words, no shop time.  But I think this will be fine and my eyes are ok as long as I don't strain them for hours on end.

I dug out the old boxes from the basement and opened everything up on the kitchen table.

Looks  like Clark did my packaging in 07, and all seems well.   Really very, very well organized with each smaller plastic package labeled clearly, and the labels match the instructions.  The transformers had set for so long that some of the packing newspaper had stuck to the plates, so I carefully scrubbed on that with a damp abrasive pad.

The first two steps were completed with minimal problems.  There was a bit of confusion of how to place the two transformers and choke so that the wires were pointing the right way, and also making sure all of the wiring was pulled through cleanly.  The grommets are a pain, you just have to push them all the way in, and then they pop out when you are pulling the wires through anyway.  The good news is they are easier to get back in place the second (or third) time around.

This is everything through both Steps 1 and 2, and including installation of the 32uf can cap in Step 3.
