Brian:Out of genuine concern for your safety, and not out of malice...
If you have to ask these kinds of questions, you should not be attempting power supply modifications as a first project.
I would pass on the "Do it Yourself" effort (DIY) this go around, and consult with someone locally who knows about these things - an electrician or electronics repairman perhaps.
I say this because, well, there is no such thing as a "DC" transformer. You cannot "transform" DC. Although "Wall wart" DC power supplies contain a transformer, they also contain a rectifier circuit, and possibly other components such as filters to smooth out the DC.
Don't risk burning down your home over a $4 yard sale find.
Even if someone here gives you "correct" advice, there is no real way for them to adequately check your work before you energize your project.
Cheers,
Presto
