Congrats Mark on Phase Completion! A thought occurred to me regarding holding the insulators straight when gluing on the transformer - possibly using a piece of that white styrofoam, jam the insulators in where you want them, ensuring their bases extend the same distance, and glue them all at once. Lift off the styrofoam when the glue has dried. One-time use jig!
Thanks for sharing your progress and for being so personable and transparent with your process and life.
