Kurt,
Your $2 24V DC to 9.5V DC in-plug voltage regulator sounds interesting.
Please say more, including who makes it, where to get it, and for what you
most commonly use it. Also, have you a line on a similar 48V DC-DC
converter?

 I bolt the tab of a small
1A voltage regulator (with negative tab) on to the ground/negative
connection inside the plug and wire the 11-35 V-in of the regulator to
the 24V+ of the plug and the 9.5V+ output of the regulator to the cord
going to the 9.5V load.  This all takes place inside the bake-lite plug
and is very clean.  You can even get a small fuse in there to protect
the smaller appliance line, but in my tests if you short circuit the
cord or coaxial power plug at the appliance and there is no fuse, the $2
voltage regulator fails open and current flow stops.
