I doubt you'll get a generic wall wart fitted with one. You'll need to
solder one on. They are available as line sockets.


Plenty of wall-wart adapters with settable voltage, reversible polarity
and a star type multi connector on the end of the lead.


There are, but the requirement is for a 12 volt AC type for low voltage
lamps fitted with a 2 pin DIN line socket. Which isn't included on those
star type connectors.

Some of the more common multi-pin din sockets will take plugs with less
pins.

The OP might not want to break open a wall wart, but last time I needed an
AC one for a Hayes modem I opened an adjustable wall-wart and linked out the
rectifier, the LED can continue to work as well by adding an anti-parallel
1N4148 to protect it from reverse voltage and reduce the resistor to
compensate for only conducting on half cycles.
