Post by JamiePost by Sarah HoustonI just got a Heath-Zenith doorbell that uses three D cells but want to run
it off the AC line instead of eating batteries.
Is there some kind of AC adapter that can do that and plug into the
battery holder slots? ( it has no adapter jack )
What do they call a device like that?
Not that I know of, you would have to solder the wires onto
the connection prongs using a AC adapter that you can get
from radio shack.
If you know some one handy enough, you could have wooden
dowels cut to the same size of the batteries and place them
in the slots to fill up the void, on one end of the dowels
you would need to put a brass screw in the end where you
can connect the AC adapter lead to.
Or buy a socket to attach to the side of the battery compartment, so you can plug in a normal adaptor.
Post by JamieMake sure you get the polarity correct.
since you're using 3 D cells, that would be 3 x 1.5 volts =
4.5/
you can use a 5 Volt DC adapter at around 500 ma's or better.

The mayor could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Phoenix
was full of pigeon poop. The people of Phoenix couldn't walk on the
sidewalks or drive on the roads. It was costing a fortune to try to
keep the streets and sidewalks clean.
One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Mayor a proposition.
"I can rid your beautiful city of its plague of pigeons without cost
to the city. But, you must promise not to ask me any questions. Or,
you can pay me five million dollars and ask one question." The mayor
considered the offer briefly and accepted the free proposition.
The next day the man climbed to the top of City Hall, opened his coat,
and released a blue pigeon. The blue pigeon circled in the air and
flew up into the bright blue Arizona sky. All the pigeons in Phoenix
saw the blue pigeon. They gathered up behind the blue pigeon. The
Phoenix pigeons followed the blue pigeon as she flew southward out of
the city.
The next day the blue pigeon returned completely alone to the man atop
City Hall. The Mayor was very impressed. He thought the man and the
blue pigeon had performed a wonderful miraculous feat to rid Phoenix
of the plague of pigeons.
Even though the man with the pigeon had charged nothing, the mayor
presented him with a check for five million dollars and told the man
that, indeed, he did have a question to ask and even though they had
agreed to no fee and the man had rid the city of pigeons, he decided
to pay the 5 million just to get to ask ONE question.
The man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his question.
The mayor asked: "Do you have a blue Mexican?"
