   JAMECO, which advertises in the back pages of most of the computer
magazines, is an excellent source for an equivalent replacement, via mail
order.

  You can probably find alternative sources locally, if you hunt around. On
the other hand, there's always the question, "why did the original blow"? 
This is not a thing to be taken lightly, as a replacement might fail from the
same causes, within a very short time.
 
  If you or anyone you know is at all "into" analog electronics, it might
repay you from several standpoints, to take the original supply apart and
figure out what died - it might a) be a 25 cent part that will put it back in
service, and b) point to a much more severe problem elsewhere in the machine.
