Emulator II PSU not working.

Crap. Testing the EII regulator board now, and something is seriously wrong. The power led keeps going on and off. 

I disconnected the +/-15V outputs and the 5V works fine. Reconnecting the +15V also works - but I can't trim the 13.2V all the way up, it stops at about 12.95V. That really sucks.

But the worst is that when I add -15V the flashing starts again. Damn.

Update: The -15V is caused by me messing up the polarity of the caps. Such a beginner mistake... The 13.2V is due to the PSU, even under load, only outputting +14V. I have an identical one that outputs 14.5V, that works as it should. Not sure if that means the first one is outside spec or what is going on...
