I did that in an emergency with a ZX81 power supply that was kicking around the computer repair place I used to work at, an hour before a friend's band were due on stage. Their Aleses HR16 had just turned up its toes and where were we going to get a new 9V AC power supply at 6pm on a Saturday in Aberdeen?
Well, my junk box obviously!
It lasted at least ten years until he finally sold the thing a few years ago (and immediately regretted it).
