If the fan is running, the 10V rail degrades a bit more and slightly drops in voltage.
Again, given the fact that it it fed through a rectifier and then a voltage regulator, that is almost fine.

I don't really like that we use a voltage of about 12V as the input for the 7805 voltage regulator. We power the microcontroller, the display, the EEPROM and a bit of other stuff from the regulator so I would guess the current is not too high, probably in the few hundreds of mA.

I am not really happy with the transformer in the device. The rating is dodgy at best, and lots of energy is wasted in heat in regulation circuits.
At the moment I tend towards replacing the transformer with a 24 volts switching power supply and a small buck converter for the 5 volts logic circuts. The fan regulation could then be done through simple PWM.
