Either one of the secondary-side electrolytics is failing, or one of the
secondary side rectifiers is leaky. Either way, get it sorted soon as,
because if the regulation fails because of the main rail appearing *to
be low, much other damage can be done to LSIs elsewhere in the machine.

Thanks for your help. I hate to waste, but since they don't cost that
much these days, I'm thinking I'll just replace it.

Thanks again.
