Does this look like I need a new LM323? (5V regulator)

    There is nothing wrong with that regulator and is within spec. Voltage ripple is not caused by the regulator but by filtering caps.

    If you *must* increase the voltage, insert a resistor in the regulator's ground path. Approximately every 10 ohms of resistance added to the ground path raises the output voltage by about 0.1 volts.
