Folks, Before you go to elaborate mounting schemes for your TO-3 cans, check the internal connection to the TO-3 case. The case might be the output voltage, which always sucks (but is understandable). it's aggrevating having to insulate your heat sinks from ground.

The 78Hxx series uses the case as ground.

Nothing like grabbing a hold of a hot (thermal) hot (voltage) sink! :-) John .....................................................................
