I know where one is by visual memory, but don't have the address
handy.  They have a large selection of used power supplies.  Be sure
to check three things - the voltage, amperage rating, and (usually not
a problem, but still) the polarity.  Maybe the polarity is universal -
although I remember Sony used to have theirs backwards with the "+" on
the outside and the "-" on the inside (for some audio stuff I bought
back in the 20th century).  It should be on the street in the middle
of this map - on the left side - a ground-floor walk-in place:
