Ok, I finally got around to figuring out this power supply. I've found
that the center pin on the connector is indeed connected to the center tap
on the transformer, with the outer pins each connected to either end of
the transformer.
There is .3 ohms between the end taps, and .7 ohms between the center tap
and either end tap. So I suppose this means there's 20VAC across the
outer pins and ~10VAC between either outer pin and the center pin?

You can almost certainly figure all this out from you now-smashed
P.S. Smack it to smaller bits so's you can see how it's
physically wired. It's even possible thr 3rd pin isn't used,
tied to one of the others, ground, etc. If there's only two
wires in the cable, etc.
I'll try to look at mine tonight.
