You can buy adaptors that convert the power for you.  They are just like the 
ones you buy to plug in the wall and have a multi-voltage selector and a
polarity switch.  I think I bought mine at Zellers or a similar store a while
ago.  Radio shack should have them.  As for building one yourself, Somehow
the one I bought got fried(probably my fault).  Wow, I just dug out the old 
circuit board, and what do you know, only 2 switches, and 7 resistors.

One resistor is burnt beyond recognition.  

I will give the values as seen.
R1 (burnt) green | brown/black | burnt | gold
R2 brown | green | brown | gold
R3 grey | red | black | gold
R4 same as R3
R5 same as R3
R6 same as R3
R7 red | red | brown | gold

Has a 6 position switch
a two position polarity switch

front looks like :

             /     \

          6 pos switch here
     12v 9v 7.5v 6v 4.5v 3v

           polarity switch here
               + -

        output to device to be powered 300ma
        with inline fuse which is now missing. :-)

If you want the circuit board, I can send e-mail a graphics version(pcx is 
what I will be drawing in, but can give others)
