converting a car stereo for the home

My 83yo mother-in-law is having trouble with the fancy stereo we bought her several years ago. Too many complicated dials and switches.

I thought a nice easy stereo system, much like a car stereo would wourk great for her. Slide in a CD and the CD player plays. Eject and the radio plays. Push a radio station button and the pre-programmed station plays. Unfortunately, there seems to be no desktop equivalent.

I would like to take a car stereo that meets my needs and built it into a case with speakers and powered by AC. I don't need much power, two reasonable sized speakers would be sufficient.

I'm told I need an AC to DC converter 12 volt but don't know much about the needed amperage. I can easily handle the case and minor electrical connections and don't want to burn down her house. Thoughts, recommendations, and caveats would be appreciated.

Thanks,
philr

Less than $150. Do you have good brands to recommend?

Thank you very much. I looked at this item and the buttons on the unit don't correspond to station selection but the Remote seems simple enough.

Much appreciated. Have a great holiday!!
