Ya the goop is no big deal it's that green bubbly sticky stuff that just peals right off, you know what i'm talking about. I'll give it a try I need to clean up the wiring so I'll test as I go.

On my other power supply I wasn't thinking when I gota the resistor at a local old school surplus electronics store and found some awsome screw in case 25W resistors, but wasn't thinking that it was a 1 ohm instead of a 10. I hooked it up and the output was right about 12.5V, but the case was smoking hot. Amazing what 25W will do. Lol. When I switched to a 10 ohm the output dropped to 11.7 or so. I have some 2,4,8 phm resistors laying around.

Thanks

Jeff
