** The link is for a nominal 6 volt DC output wall wart that delivers 10 volts off load.

Other factors makes the regulation much poorer than a simple transformer.

** Crikey - a 1.5VA AC output wall wart.

Bout the smallest you will see.

My Internet is Cox Cable, but outages are _very_ rare, and usually just a few minutes while they swap equipment in the neighborhood.

Ah, mine must be near end of production and came with an different (LED?) lamp. I bought it just as everybody started making telephones. Or perhaps i completely misremembered and it is a Trimline. Won't know until i dig it up.

Those wall warts were recalled as a fire hazard some years later. I wonder if WE had the first patent for a wall wart?

There is quite a bit of variation, it could very well look like a computer with a sound card.
