Here's photos.
There is a shunt regulator there, it's a KIA431A, TO-92 case rated to 
100 ma. The PCB is a Lien Chang AIP0157. I should be able to make a 
rough schematic of major components, but thought I would get this out 
quickly. The 5 volt comes off the transformer as 1 winding. If in fact 
this 5 volt supply is rated at 100ma, then maybe it's OK, and the issue 
is downstream. I could try powering it from a separate 5 VDC supply by 
itself through a 100ma fuse.

Thanks for the help.
