An unregulated wall wart supply nominally rated at 12V will be closer to 18V off load. The voltage will drop as you draw more current, but it should be fine for everyday volume levels.

I'm a shameless scavenger of wall warts. I keep an eye open for them all the time. I usually manage to smuggle a few out of the computer recycling area of my local waste centre when disposing of old computer equipment, and I have a big shoebox full in the loft
