That's the conclusion I came to. The ARC-5 transformers are just too 
big.  Lining them up front-to-back would require a chassis 13 inches 
deep, which is doable if you can get them behind an empty part of the 
front panel, but I've decided to try to stay withing a 10" x 17" 
chassis.

At this moment I'm investigating 3/4" 262kc since they're common. 
Maybe padded down some.
