I posted an example of how to do a 5VDC/9VAC convertor using the first
transformer I found on Digikey that matched thebasic specs , there are
probably all kinds that would work. The design is two single-ended to
ground drivers which I show as TIP120 just for current and gain without
worring about the parameters.  Transformer can be a Single Primary 110V to
48 VAC Centertap secondary or I showed a dual primary with the 110V
primaries wired in series and 24 VAC Centertap.   I have not tested the
design or done the real exact 2nd level of math, this is an example of how
I have done this in the past.

selling a switcher that does 9VAC.  I've asked... on two continents.

True - SX-64 is no longer being produced ;-) But - BTW - it might be good
to check what transformers (they were pretty small) CBM used in the SX
PSUs. Maybe those (or similar) are still available.
