Hello - I am looking for a simple solution to use my old blue transformers to convert the 17VAC (yellow and brown terminals) to DC - mainly to supply LED lighting and misc. accessories. I have multiple transformers so I could dedicate one per needed output voltage (ie. 3V, 6V and 12V). So I am looking for a schematic and parts list to built the required conversion. I realize it would be easier to just buy DC power supplies but I am hopping to re-purpose the good old transformers! Any help or suggestion are greatly appreciated! Thank you.
