Can someone check this layout to see if its correct plz???

The 7805, like all normal regulators, NEEDS a DC input. A regulator cannot create voltage where there is none. If you put a rectified but unsmoothed voltage into a regulator, you will get gaps in the output. That doesn't mean the 7805 is crap; it means you're doing it wrong!

Agreed, Kris,
people seem to think that electronic components have these magical features far above what their data sheets specify
