I worked for a small company that was owned by a conglomerate. The
conglomerate said that they'd never use any of our equipment that were

Anyway, we had problems with the 7805 regulators shutting down from
overtemp. They were mounted on the PCB with a small heatsink. So we
had to ECO them by adding a few inches of wire and bolting the 7805 to
the aluminum case, which soaked up plenty of heat. After that, no
more weird behavior.

It wasn't WG Security Products, was it? Doesn't sound like it. A while
back I got a used video quad that they had made, and the 7805 was mounted
like that. Also, the 7805 was blown.
