My Digikey order arrived Friday. Today I replaced the two power transistors on the reference supply. I also changed the capacitor for a new one. When I first plugged it in, it was still not working, so I built my card extender so I could get it out. But, after some balancing and a warmup, the reference supply kicked in perfectly for both polarities. I'll see if it keeps working. There is a chance that there is a loose connection somewhere that is making it intermittent sometimes. But, it appears to be working fine, now.
I think I need to also let it run for an hour or so, then adjust everything. It may need some time to stabilize.
