My AC/DC adapter is a universal 33011 output variable from 3 to 12 VDC, @ 500 
mA with a polarity switch.  My zapper was making good Cs with this adapter 
set on 12 VDC.  The zapper just stopped doing its thing with the germs.  Ear 
infections came back, ulcers remained, etc.  DR Clark found that lifting the 
signal generator from ground by using a battery instead of a 110 VAC supply 
allowed for the generator to kill all germs instead of just the ones where 
the frequency was set.  She said a person with 4 known sets of different 
germs had all 4 wiped out with the generator set for one of the 4 germs 
frequencies.  Source for the adapter was a store called Walmart.  I did not 
bother switching back to a battery for zapping.  

A discussion on this list went into great detail on safety issues using an 
AC/DC adapter with a zapper.  They did not cover saying that it caused the 
zapper to stop functioning properly.
