[sdiy] Converting a DC adapter to AC only...?

[Paul Perry]

A DC output adaptor has an AC transformer that goes to a diode bridge
(usually it's a bridge) that does the rectifying, then there is a big ass
electrolytic cap to filter.
If you rip out everything but the transformer, you get your AC.

But if you are in the USA, I would just BUY an AC adaptor, from
www.jameco.com

Hell, I'm in Australia, and that is what I do myself..
