Look for the power jack polarity symbol on the speaker or wall unit.
(If there are no markings, a voltmeter will show you. If it is still
working, the counter person should be able to measure it for you)

Go to Radio Shack and buy a replacement 12VDC unit with the same
connector AND Polarity.
The power rating needs to be 650 ma OR higher (it does not hurt to
have more *available*)

Of course we don't know what the original unit looks like.
Did you try to get a replacement from the manufacturer?

For 3rd party replacement, I'd go to www.jameco.com
and look at their part number 252822 But you may have to
splice the proper connector since they don't have those
interchangable ones like Radio Shack.
