Yes it's a POS PSU without a doubt, and I would suggest nobody ever buys one! The manufacturer should be deeply ashamed, and given the reported failure rate they probably are.
However, I already had it, and it cost me pennies to fix it so I did. It's hugely inefficient of course, and if I can't detect any improvement over the original PSU I will be more than happy to toss it to the back of a cupboard and forget about it. But I will give it a listen first. It actually makes much more sense as Receiver PSU. Open it up, remove both 7805s and replace ONE with a 7808. Job done. The SBR will be perfectly happy with 8V (from what I've read on other threads). Addendum to previous post of mine. The TX voltages I was talking about are rectified and smoothed. I.e., what's going into the reg. Not the secondary AC. Hopefully obvious but anyway. So under full load, 11.2V-->8V-->5v.
