It says "message minder", so I'm assuming it is from an old answering machine. It is 120 vAC in and, 9vAC out. Being a "don't throw away anything electronic" kind of fella, I decided to toss this together (http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj165/pearlbeater/Rectify.gif) and splice it into the output cord. I get 8.9 vAC at the input, 12.2 vDC out at 3.2 amps. Just thought I'd share! :icon_mrgreen: I assume the voltage increase is normal / caused by the rectification???
