Go to radio shack and buy a generic 120V AC to 12V DC wall adapter. you can probably find one with a reverse car adapter, or just solder the wires together.

Only one with amperage specs gave 800mA, so I'd get something that will put out at least 1.5A

Or you can just wire in a decent sized 12V battery, but then you'll need a charger.

This would do the job, even if you had to cut wires.
