So that is in series. OK. Then I will go that route.

I must have a wrong view in the differences between series and paralel, as fas as electricity goes. I figured since both pots connected to the same leads on the board, then they would be in paralel. But you state this as series. Please enlighten me!

The transformer will actually be external to the case. It will have the output voltage (24vac) carried through some set of wires up to the case, where the adj. power supply will reside. In my case(no pun intended), I think I will ground the external case that the transformer is in, to the mains earth. How does it sound?

BTW i figured out how to connect the small transistor. The pdf I found pretty much tells me what I need to know. The emitter of the small transistor outputs to the base of the larger one. The smaller transistor has a hole to mount a heatsink, yet the kit does not call for one. Do you think I should pink one up @ Radio Shack and hook it up?

Thanks,

BrianW
