**Oops. You are correct. The negative rail is fed from a 20 Volt zener
and the positive rail is fed from a series transistor, with the base
tied to a 20 Volt zener, in series with a forward biased diode.

**Yes. There is that.

**True enough. I had neglected to examine the schematic before I posted.
According to the schem, it is +/- 20 Volts.
