For sufficiently large transformers, it?s common practice to ship them separately. For

For a PCB mounted transformer, removing it might be excessive, but it might be a good
compromise to install some sort of retaining strap.

Any unit needs to be evaluated for internal
components which may not handle
shipping stresses and disassembled if possible before crating. CRT's should
never be left with the factory mounts anymore for instance.
On the back of that, are CRTs best shipped with the screen facing down, or
forwards? Presumably it's also wise to unplug the neck board from the CRT
and secure it. What do people do about the HV transformer? They're normally
bulky/heavy and can lack support other than the solder connections on the PCB.
