If you need 9 volts AC, then why not just buy a small step down transformer?
Unfortunately, the only one that Radio Shack has that might be useful is a 18
volt c.t. transformer, but it can supply 3 amps or something... a bit of an
overkill. Radio Shack #273-1515 costs about $13 CDN, and you'd use the centre
wire (the C)entre T)ap) plus one of the outer ones.  That with an AC line cord
(eg. Radio Shack #278-1255) in a small box would create an adapter that would
be higher quality than any prefab adapter that you could buy. Just snip off
the connector from the old, dead adapter.

I don't work for Radio Shack, but once in while, I buy from there.
