Re: Star Wars audio/regulator help

6.5 isn't unheard of for a 7905. It almost sounds like you receive 7912s from
Bob. Check the numbers..

A 7905 you should be able to pickup at Rad Shack (i think they had them). I would
recommend replacing it..

If you need to test your Star Wars board, you could probably borrow the -5 off a
JAMMA power supply if you have one lying around.
