I once read that there is a problem in "lifting ground" on those 3 terminal fixed regulators in that you lose output short circuit protection. If the output is pulled below the ground pin, the regulator fails. Best to use an LM317 if you need an oddball voltage, or maybe a 7810 if 10 V is close enough. Bob NO6B
