its a 30v ac transformer (5va i think from memory), through a full wave bridge with just 1n4007 diodes (i got 100's of them in my box of bits) a 2200uf cap, then an lm317t voltage regulator set to 24v
this thing is dropping 17-18v on the regulator, which isnt too efficient and gets fairly warm but not hot and the whole design is really just tangents STEPS psu with some of the extra 'stuff' cut out

i cant get the standard Elpac wallwarts that everyone seems to use here in 240v versions so i make my own
