Power Suppy problem

2007-03-26 by gil_we

Powering my OBXa up immediately blows up the tantalum capacitor placed 
between the IN and GND legs of the -15v 7915 regulator... I also found 
two partially fried 1ohm fuse resistor on the +15v rail. Any idea what 
can cause it ? Is there any chance that the transformer is bad ? What 
is your bet as for the responsbile part ?

I uploaded the diagram to the Files section.... any help would be 
appreciated !

Thanks.
