I have found that the 12 volt power bricks and wall warts are kind of universial
You need to make sure the device can take the load (Enough current) and has the right plug and the right polarity (Positive or negative "Tip") but I likely have 4 or 5 lying about here I swap around all the time.
Radio shack is not the cheapest place
Re-sale shops (Salvation-Army, Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill, Et-al) often have a box of assorted wall-wart or power bricks and you can pick one up for like a buck.
Bring a pen light and perhaps a test meter cause those things can be hard to read in limited light.
