All you need to find out is what voltage and amperage is needed. If you find an adapter with the right voltage but higher amperage, that's fine. The right voltage but not enough amperage is not a good thing.
$150 for a wall wart is crazy, unless there's something special about it.

I have a conspiracy theory on these adapters...
They buy them cheap from china, and relabel them so it looks as if they are the only source to buy it. They either get them in an oddball milliamp, volt, or wattage, so they are the only source to buy it....and then they mark them up about 1000%.
I actually talked to an electrical engineer at work today. He helped me pick out one that I think will work fine, and it was about $20 shipped. Provided it works, I'll post it up.
