Apple IIc power supply brick questions

[ToasterKing <ToasterKing@mindlessPLOP.com (Delete "PLOP" to reply)>]

My questions are about the external power supply "brick" that comes with
the Apple IIc (I have "Power Supply IIc," Model No. A2M4120; it outputs
15V DC, 1.2 Amps, 18W).

First of all, is it a good switching power supply or ::gasp:: little more
than a transformer and rectifier?

Second, does anyone know how to crack one of these bricks open?

I have an extra one of these "brick" IIc supplies and plan on using it
for another purpose.  Any info appreciated.  Thanks!
