You can DIY for less money. It is open frame, so you STILL have to provide an enclosure, although it is simpler as there is just a frame to mount. At that point, the Belleson regulators look like a better deal.

By the numbers those Bellesons SPM7818 and SPM7918 look like they would be a drop in and do it all for less $$ and not require access holes through the chassis. Verry tempting.

As I stated, I had very good results from upgrading my Graham Slee Reflex X phono stage with a Belleson SuperPower regulator. (link to Vinyl Asylum post below)
Belleson now makes the SPM regulator, which is smaller, and has lower noise specs. than the one I used. Maximum current on the SPM is 225mA, and my Slee draws about 30mA quiescent. If the SPM were available then, that's what I'd have used. Check the current draw of your 651P, and if the SPMs work, I'd say go for it!
Oh, and here's (link) why I suggested you try a higher current AC transformer. Even a larger (higher current) AC to 12v AC wall-wart might help. Steve McCormack offers transformer upgrades to some of his older (Micro series) equipment for the same reason.
For instance, this LOOKS LIKE a dual output regulator. I wish I had the patience to WAIT for delivery of one of these. Sure beats breadboarding, what a PITA that is! All you need supply is the case and a transformer. Hard to tell how big it is, though.
