It would probably be pretty simple. All that would be needed
would be to add some pass transistors to the outputs of the regulators.
Probably a drop-in replacement cound be done that was just
as nice as the LV2000. Have it drop in to the spots where the
+-24V regulators are now and it would just be an LM317/LM337 and
2 pass-transistors, plus all the related adjustment and protection
stuff. The pass-transistors could probably even be T0-220 package
types, since I don't think the 78/7924s put out that much current at
all.
