More questions:

Variable resistor(pot), and the voltage regulator. When more resistence is applied through the pot, does the regulator raise the output voltage? This is the only way I can see that adding another pot to set minimum voltage would work. Also to add the second pot, can i just solder some wires to the posts of the pot, and connect the second pot to that? That is what I was thinking.

Mains AC yields three wires: Power, neutral and earth. Is this right? The schematic shows two wires going into the transformer. One is labeled L (load? is this power?), and N (Neutral?), with a fuse between mains, and transformer on the N wire. Since I assume earth is unused, should I connect earth to the metal project case, that the transformer wil be in?

Thanks again guys.
