In the past I've had luck finding replacements at Radio Shack. With the decline of the business, however, I feel they may be less helpful now than in the past. A cursory search of Fry's Electronics shows that they have several generic "AC adapters" available. They seem to be a bit scarce on details about the rated outputs for some of them, however. It might be worth giving them a call to see if someone can find one that would work for you. I've had numerous good experiences with their sales reps when looking for obscure electronics components. They're very /willing/ to help if nothing else.
