<br>
At the time, Moss had one that used a diode and a transistor as a form of a crude shunt regulator.<br>
<br>
I used a LM2940–10 automotive low dropout 10 V analog regulator.<br>
<br>
Sense and I have seen photographs of the guts of the newer electronic regulators. It appears they use a single voltage regulator with no other components around it.<br>
<br>
As I recall, These used a through hole TO 220 device with the legs bent over 90 degrees and no heat sinking.<br>
<br>
Not ideal<br>
<br>
All these analog regulators need proper capacitors on the input in output side of the regulator.<br>
<br>
My regulator with the LM 2940–10 has been in use since probably about 2004 with no problems in a TR4A<br>
<br>
I can give further details, schematics, etc. to people if they are interested.<br>
