12V PSUs are not that hard to find. I believe the
amateur radio or CB
crowd use them for running mobile (car type) rigs at home. So you might
be able to get one that was designed for that sort of use. It may well
claim to be 13.8V which, IMHO, would be fine for this application
How about a PC power supply?
I can't imagine anything cheaper (they are cheaper than cinder blocks for
building shelves)
They put out 5V and 12V, and should be accurate enopugh on the voltages.
You might need a load for it to work - an old automotive headlight will
work (get your local wrench to save you one with one burned out filament
and use the other filament)
