George, the power cart looks great!  Is the intention of the cart, just to move it out of the way for additions and maintenance, or am I missing something?

Thanks Mark. 

The idea behind the cart is to have a place to sit the PH180s and other transformers.  They are too heavy to hang vertically and they don't have mounting holes anyway.  All PowerHouse 180 and 135 transformers are easily disconnected from the power distribution panel using wired connectors.  The K-Line PowerChief 120Fs are connected to their buses via Pomona banana plugs.  I will leave enough wire to allow me to pivot the cart out of the way.  If anything serious has to be done to the board, I can simply disconnect all the transformers and roll it away.

Panhandle 1 had a transformer cart; I reused and enlarged it for this version.
