Thanx to all of you! Really. It shows me the Serge yahoo group is the right place to ask this kind of questions and that I should not give up so quickly!
These are the kind of constructive answers I expected from a Serge User Group.
Would it be possible for someone to post a photo from a PSD?
Or some where we see the distribution between PSU/PSD/Panel?
Would be awesome!
THANK YOU!!!

Their fool designer added an extra winding to the transformer to force the regulator to be running at maximum specified voltage (40 volts), so when the reg blew, it took half my synth with it. Fortunately it was not connected to a Serge! I don't know if Datel even exist any more.

I thought experienced Serge users would be able to give me an intelligent answer to a question I do consider very legitimate.
