Mod your Beresford 7520

[HighFidelityGuy]

It would be helpful if you knew what you are considering doing, and whether you have your facts correct.

As a guide:
Murata Power Solutions’ 7805SR-C (5V output), 7812SR-C (12V output).

Consult the Murata datasheet and make sure you know your 5V regulator from your 12V regulator. The 7812SR-C will not work below a 15V input level. So you would have to be in Caiman territory if you want to do this mod and spend that sort of money.

A cheaper solution might have been the Leo mod, but I think he has put that aside due to the complexity of it and the certain electronics skill required. Any slip ups and it's good bye TC-7520.

Ahhh damit, I wrote the wrong one, I didn't mean to say KIA7810API, I meant the existing 7805. Sorry about that, I had them both written on the same bit of paper and mixed them up when I wrote the post, I was tired.

So I'm interested in swapping the existing 7805 reg for a Murata 7805SR-C.
So will any modifications be required for this?

The reason I chose this reg to swap first was because swapping the other one looked more complicated due to the differing input voltage requirements.

Thanks.

I'll repeat: read the Murata datasheet. It is their mod, not mine. But you are free to send me a sample to try out and see if it works OK.

Sorry Stan, I thought you new all about the Murata seen as you mentioned it. I guess you just knew it looked like a good possible replacement but not necessarily a drop in replacement, I understand now. I'll do some more more research.

Cheers.

Your pissy attitude goes unnoticed here. How strange.

If you got a problem with AoS and me, why do you hang around here??

But your's most certainly doesn't -- P..S off why don't you and put a smile on all our faces.

No problems, just an observation.

I can see that you are someone whose grasp of English is such that it reinforces the old saying about Britain and the USA are two nations divided by a common language.

And your manners leave a huge amount to be desired.

Look at yourself before you post any "helpful" observations about other people.

Apart from generating a huge amount of hot air on his side of the pond and a lot of steam on this side, please advise how 'productive' lingling ding-a-ling has been
