There are plenty of transformers around with two 9V
secondaries. I'd
reckon on using on of at least 20VA rating even if you have a switching
regulator.
I'd proably go for overkill and get a 50VA one. But then I like
over-rating power-handling components...
I went on to the RS Components web site and found this, despite its
being an utter pig to search:

(Note for our American readers. RS Components is not Tandy, it's the
supplier formerly known as Radio Spares. People still sometimes call it
I thought it was all one word -- Radiospares. I still have a few -- a
very few -- components wih that name on them.
Radio Spares, although AFAIK that hasn't been its
name for at least a
quarter century...)
I believe the name changed in 1972. The RS sales reps get annoyed if you
call them Radiospares, but everyone does :-).
