Final report, Cooled down I'm getting 28.7 ac from the transformer output and 11.7v DC at the regulator with negligible AC
How come the unit states 18v is this a sign that the transformer is knackered. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Jc6gMNoBu0lzNZbatbdAmtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink Ordering the one I linked earlier.
