A transformer doesn't have separate taps for 9 V AC *AND* regulated 5 V :o)
And I did put a fuse in the 9 V AC line in the schematic.

Anyway, my schematic was really a quick design, nothing to be proud of, but I am not convinced that it's flawed. And I'm not convinced that the original CBM design wasn't flawed, either.
