You might be able to crack open a regular DC power supply and remove the bridge
rectifier. Normally the circuit has the 120v line go into a transformer, which
then has a capacitor and a couple diodes to make the AC transformer output into
DC. By removing the bridge, and I guess the cap also, you will basicly have 9v
AC output. To make it save though you should reclose the case again by gluing
it shut. I cracked one open just to fix one time (the plastic moldes cheapie
type) and there really wasn't much to it.
