[ARC5] Anybody Know Good Regulator Circuit?

Hi Wayne:

What is the max output current of this supply.  If it is more than tens of mA then there will be a high power pass 
regulator, maybe in a TO-3 case.

> Some years ago I bought a Tema 0-20VDC power supply on ebay.  The seller reported that it seemed to have been modified to produce a steady 25 VDC output by a change to a trimpot.  I finally got around to replacing that "bad" trimpot but that had no effect.  I then realized that the 25 VDC output is simply the unregulated output of the rectifier.  Obviously the regulator section had failed, so I replaced the HA17324 op amp, the only active component in the regulator board, but that did not fix it.
