Rabbit,
As always a very detailed post 
With me moving to IP cameras I have a box full of these wall warts, now you got me thinking.

[Rabbit]

Want to sell them?

Want to sell them? 

not at the moment though If you contact my wife she'd most likely give them to you just to get rid of the box.

I've used a couple of them to power some small strip LED's under counters that had no lights.  They are under-spec for that task - but work like a charm.
