I have components (push buttons) that require 12VAC. How can I get 12v when my power source is 120v? I'm guessing the only way is to buy some sort of power supply?

Transformer, the ratio you need is a common stock value.
Since you probably don't want to be working with mains voltages, you can often buy small plug packs that plug into a wall socket, if that is not possible, then the transformer would need to be mounted in a safety enclosure.
