Don't go too overboard on the current capacity, a 12v 800mA adapter for
example will likely put out considerably more than 12v at only a 20mA load.

And some of those universal adapters will put out more than 12 V when set
for 3 V with a light load. Check the voltage with a multimeter before
plugging it in to your equipment.
