   5V (and/or 12V) at almost any desired current should be easy enough
to find in a non-authentic package.

   How many gizmos (what actual load(s)) are you trying to support?

   I have a few DECserver 90 units running on some generic 5V, 2A (or 3A
or 4A) supplies.  I believe that I used old mouse cables to get the
right (or close-enough) mini-DIN connectors.

   They're usual, and in many cases a bulging case is a good indicator
of a bad cap.  But other devices fail, too, from time to time.
