I want to use the thing as a battery charger at a repeater site.

The supply does not appear to have a current limiting circuit to limit the 
transformer temperature in cases where the battery can draw too much current 
due to a shorted cell or a "stone dead" situation.  I want to provide that 
feature.

I also want the output set at a 12V battery float voltage of 13.4 - 13.6 volts, 
and have the ability to adjust the output up to about 14.7 volts, the so-called 
absorption charge voltage.

So tell me how to get a copy of your schematic. 

Anything you can tell me about unreliability would also be welcome, but I 
suspect the voltage regulator and/or lack of current limiting may be the root 
cause of the issues you mentioned.
