Not something you'll find easily if at all. Buy a small toroidal from Jaycar or Altronics and stick it in a box.it will be quieter and give better regulation that any wall wart ever will.

i've seen only 1 thing saying that old printers use 30V ac wall warts, but that will be far and few between...
guess i'll be taking it back to a tech to wire up for mains. haha.

I think Jaycar et al have 15-0 + 15-0 transformers which wired in series would give 30V AC power.

As always there is a JLM kit - http://www.jlmaudio.com/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=13
