Sounds like a fairly intricate scheme - especially if it automatically
goes back to work again, instead of requiring you to replace the fuse,
which is the usual option. Good work by Lego, I guess. I'll open mine
up one time and check :)
BTW: You didn't mention this, but someone else way out there in the
thread did, so: be careful with putting _two_ regulators on the same
track - especially if you're not careful about turning the knobs at
exactly the same time, one will be feeding current into the other.
Could be rather - unwanted side effects. So to speak.
