I just found three of them that should work on Radio Shack's website:

or
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102590&cp=2032056.2818117.2818328&parentPage=family - not 100% sure this will work.  It doesn't tell how many amps it's rated for.

I've used the first one to power a JB3 in the past.  You'll want to set it for 4.5 volts.

I found several sources for the Digital Concepts PP99 Power Pack for the JB3 on Amazon, $12 plus $4 shipping. Can't beat that with a stick. The price at the top is $47 but look under the other available ones.

I have used a PP99 for my JB3 for a long time now and keep a new spare close at hand, just in case.  I am considering picking up another one to power an R-44 and hacking a power cable on a third to power my V3.  You just have to love multi-voltage baterries!

How many hours do you get out of it? Do you run with no batteries in, charged batteries in, or use it to charge between sets? I was considering the Wallyworld adapter route, but I really wanted to keep both of those for my UA-5 in festy situations.

I have only used it for the JB3 at this point and I use it in conjunction with a single charged internal battery "just in case".  When the PP99 was brand new I was getting about 5-6 hours, but it likely less than that now.  It is hard to say since I never record more than a single show at a time and those never really go over 3 or 4 hours.

not sure if it has been mentioned, I admit I did not read the whole thread.  But I had great luck powering my JB3 with a power runner battery from battery source.
