I performed this mod. I originally asked about it because I was hoping that
adding the regulation would remove some screen jitters and allow the display to
look rock solid during the explosion sequence.
In my case, I didn't experience any noticeable difference in performance after
installing the regulators. However, I remotely mounted the transistors onto
heat sinks, about 2 inches away from the board, and Zonn felt that remotely
mounting them was sub-optimal because the distance was now too great. He
mentioned something about adding some capacitors to the mix, but I forget the
details. I haven't made my way back to this project, so I haven't tried
relocating the transistors or the other suggestion that Zonn made.
It certainly didn't hurt anything. If you try it, locate your transistors as
close as possible to the PCB.
