Not bashing the design of the power supply, just not the way I would have done it is all. The electronic portion of it seems pretty stable, I did mess up and put a 16v cap where a 32v one belongs and it started smelling funny late last night. Caught it before it blew though, now has a higher rated 50v one in its place. It works like it's supposed to now, but if I was designing the actual layout of all the parts I definitely would not have placed the caps above a hot rectifier heat sink. That just seems wrong, but what the hey it lasted close to 10 years with cheap caps in it. If I get another 10 out of it I'll be pleasantly surprised.
