http://sm0vpo.altervista.org/power/regulator.htm    I seem to remember that I've posted INFO on Voltage Regulators before, but this is a nice write-up on them. I use them on gear from the 60's, 70's, and 80's, with great results. (Thank you Boomer for FWR this to me!)
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No mater where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
