Yes, that would also be a good solution. Then you could remove the existing
power transistor. However, I think that would be more expensive than using
the TO-220 packaged regulators, driving the existing power transistors as
followers. So I think that a price comparison would be in order. But I
think that the TO-220 solution will be less expensive.
