    gives us more details on the 12v regulator you got from Radio Shack.

    Not sure why you were told to get another ac adapter to take apart????

    I have just wired my lilliput off a 12V regulator which is connected to the ACC power.

    Not a good idea just using that regulator chip on it's own.

    Hope you have at least put a decent heatsink on it.
