You are giving them the +15V DC input as well as the AC from the transformer?
If so, sounds like the crowbar is firing. One thing that will cause this is a dried-up
output capacitor (you get nasty spikes on the out thast trips the crowbar).
I am not sure what you are asking with the 'How does one repair [a DEC regulator
brick]'. The obvious answer is just like any other bit of electronics, but presumably
there is some specific problem that you have in mind.
