"Ahhhh. Interesting. I'll have to look at the Amplifone schematics.
Can you parallel regulators like the 7824 (Assuming you have low value
resistor to tie the Vout's together)? Could probably drive something
big-n-cheap like a 2n3055 off the regulator for some more current...
Hmmmm.
"
there are higher current regulators available now than 7824's
you could also use one of the National tiny switchers, which
would run a HELL of a lot cooler too..
