Me: Yes

LP: Okay, I’ll buy a 24v transformer and hook it up to the PCB

Me: Make sure it’s a 24V transformer

LP: Yes! Certainly.

Me: Make sure it’s rated for two amps

LP: Yes! Certainly.

-three hours later-

*LP sends picture of the transformer hooked to the PCB*

*I notice the transformer is 120/18V)
Me: Hey, man.

LP: Pretty nifty eh?

Me: Did you happen to notice what the transformer says?

LP: What with it

LP:....
LP: Oh I see.

Me: Yes, evidently.

LP: So, a new one.

Me: Yes. A new one.

Wasteful! Just wire up 4AAs in series with your transformer!
