That seems unlikely, unless there was something wrong with the old
regulators. A 5v supply is a 5v supply -- what mechanism is there for
the regulator to make any difference if it is working correctly?

An admirable attitude!

Some of the unreliability may be from the tin-plated connectors that
Heath used. 20/20 hindsight says that gold-plated connectors work
better. You might solve some of the problems by cleaning the numerous
contacts.
