Yes, it will be right around that. I can ask matt on the current draw but his m2 is a melcor style and i think those are around 15-20 mA. That's ~5x the draw of of the 7136. If you install 10, you would be increasing your consumption by 120 mA or so. I looked at the power supply and it shouldn't stress the components as far as I can tell although I would make sure the capacitors are all replaced with modern equivalents with higher ripple current ratings. Since the +- 15V is unregulated, maybe the voltage would drop slightly; I was going to probably adjust the dropping resistors to provide +/- 18V anyways. Maybe add new thermal grease to the heatsinked transistors while you are in there.
