[sdiy] 12VDC to 12VAC converter [OT]

[Bob Weigel]

Hmm.  I'd say..you can get really small inverters super cheap now.  Just 
plug a 12VDC adapter into one :-).  Not the most power efficient way 
maybe but probably the most economical if your time is worth anything. 
Oops...does it have to be 50hz?  Well you can probably find a cheap 50hz 
inverter too..never shopped for those.  -Bob
