Bill,

Sorry for all those conflicts... through.

Huh huh uh uh ... 'bout the Rat Shock, Bascially mostly wires and
plugs etc.. all you can use wires and few connectors but does not
hurt to check for PCjr's connector and none has the transformers at
17volts. But they do have experimenter's boxes of any sizes and
shapes, basic most electronic parts that nearly no one could use. :))
Only 12v types. You need to find local electronic supplier and order
two regular transformers 17ac at 2amp each or one center tapped
transformer of 17vac-0-17vac around 33watts or 2amp each if supplier
has it or cheaper whichever.

Wait until you find out where you can get a transformer of either two
types dual transformers or one center tap then apply proper circuit
to either one of two types.

Also, better put a fast acting 1.5amp fuse on primary side of 120vac
and insulate well all properly soldered connections and box it up
with grounded plug for safety sake!!!
