RE: Ugly, it's a good thing you asked ahead of time

Xfmr regulation voltage depends on loading. I didn't measure but am guessing with the light loading this one sees it is sitting somewhere between it's no load voltage, the 14V I measured, and it's full load voltage of 12V. LDO's can be had with 0.1V drop and with 0.7V across what seems to be a half wave rectified circuit you only need18.8V from the tranny for 18V rails.

If I do end up diying I'd most likely run with no regulation other than the transformer regulation but pump up filter capacitance so big ripple gets kept in the noise floor. What's even better than a really good reg? No reg at all.
