sikes: Personally, it would be easier and cheaper just to use an LM7812 regulator IC, especially since we're talking only a voltage differential of ~2-4v and probably around 500mA,

Aaaah yes

I noticed this unit can be ran from a 12 volt 3.5 amp power supply.

A couple of those in TO-220 form ran parallel, perhaps with a small heat sink should do the job.

Wow, those really are cheap.

Thanks for the tip Brian.
