Re-added the bridge rectifier and fuse to the new Sentinel 65X prototype going to the fab in a few days.
For the five or six of you not familiar with why you would put a bridge rectifier in a device powered by a DC wall wart, it's because doing so means it no longer matters what polarity the power supply provides, or whether it's AC or DC -- it will work as long as the voltage is sufficient to feed the regulators, in this case at least 6V, 1.5A (as limited by the fuse).
