following up a message from Roy J. Tellason to all:

And maybe the motors on 8 inch floppy drives.  :-)

I hauled the thing in here tonight and opened it up.  There's a *BIG*
ferroresonant transformer in there!  And a line filter,  and some
rectifiers, and a big cap after that,  besides the AC cap on the primary
side.  There appear to be a number of wires coming out of that transformer,
 was wondering if I could rewire it to get 12 volts out but I'm not so sure
at this point.

Anybody out there into messing with these things?
