Well at least that picture explains what Todd meant when he said "if the LM7915 is unplugged" - looks like the two regulators are on their own plugs, allowing a 'flying' attachment to some big heat sinks.
Whatever is holding those heat sinks on may have shorted I guess... and they look like they're almost touching
