I am looking for an easy circuit to build that will convert 117VAC to
DC so I can power:  a 12 VDC negative ground car radio at home; a 9 VDC
transistor radio; a 6 VDC cassette player; other 3 VDC battery powered
toys.  I would like to be able to use commonly available parts - Radio
Shack or mail order - that the converter would be switchable to provide
any of the voltages at the flick of a switch and it be small in size.
