Ah.. ok. I was going to say.

If you ask me though, that was a pretty cheesey design for a standby regulator though. IMHO. But I guess they were built down to a price point, so it is what it is, that or the technology just wasnt available then like it is now. Nowadays, you can use a simple 8 pin TNY regulator with a small SMPS transformer, and generate 5V or 12V standby voltage all day long.
