All Electronics has a wide variety of "wall wart" supplies:
www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category/815/Wall_Transformers.html
While most are US standards there are some with "European" plugs.
There are varieties available from 3 to 24 volts and 100 mA - more
than 1 Amp. Most are priced at less than $5.00.
I use them for replacements with a lot of equipment as the supplies
usually have the "proper" connector size/polarity. All of those I
have received to date are analog (none of the noisy switching
designs).
The shipping will probably be more than the power supply.
