AC Adapters
This is workable in a home with a technically minded user. And no
folks who like to play with things. Hate to see the 3.5 volt cell
phone go up in smoke when someone slides the volts over to 12.5 or so.
Radio Shack has a multiple tap gadget for charging cell phones. $30,
plus $10 for the specific tip for the phone. I politely declined.
Remembering I'd seen cell phone chargers across the street at Home
Depot. 5.97 later, I had my charger. Incidentally, phone chargers also
available on Ebay, for about as cheap.

They make multi-tap transformers with a slide-switch
in increments of 1.5 volts, and a set of round
plug-adapters in 3-4 sizes. Those will work for
most things.
I picked one up one of thise at WalMart (about $16) for an old flatbed
scanner I have. Works fine. Regulated? I dunno. A good thing was that
it
has the ability of when you put the round adapter on, you can set the
center pin as + or -.
OP: If you get one of these just get one with a high mA rating. That
way
it will be able to run many different things. If you get one that has
the
proper voltage and say is rated at 600mA and you try to run something
that requires that voltage but 1000 mA, it may not work/will burn out
adapter/damage device or any combo of that.
