Anyone happen to know what widget I'd use to drop north american wall current down to 20V, 2A? I'm trying to put the heating coil and fan motors on this popcorn maker on separate circuits, but (like hair dryers!) these things use the heating coil as a big ol' resistor to make wall voltage palatable to a tiny motor. Very economical design, but inconvenient for my needs.

@mhoye if AC, then networking power supplies (especially old Bell routers). If DC, then a common laptop adapter.
