I took pictures of the insides as I recall; pretty sure they can be had at Radio Shack. I would have made a point of documenting this a tad better if I knew there was such interest - my memory is shot nowadays. Drugs from the 60s I guess
But as you know you can get the entire unit, fan and all for like $100 at Potomac. The DOA guarantee is good enough for stuff like this. I recommend those guys with confidence, remember he shipped a 70k mile 119.980 to me on a pallet for like $1400, still had some accessories on it

Nah, I don't need one. I already bought one a while back, but I thought it would be of great interest given the certainty of failure of the regulator, if one could document a $2 repair or $15 reproduction that was reliable. The discussion from the parts forum seemed to just die without resolution.
I know Jim is still around, so I was hoping he would have some info. Maybe I'll just PM him.
