I tracked down the fault in a failed power supply to a failed 2N3055
power transistor. It's conducting from C->B in a gang with 4 other
transistors driven by a TIP31. The net result was that the failure
caused the supply to jump to 22V+, far higher than its typical max
voltage, and with no current limiting. Are there any obvious mods
I should consider while I'm fixing it?
