FM Transmitter running off wall power with extended range.

This is part of the iTrip Universal Plus.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far,far away this little device was purchased for a whopping $50. Little did it know that it's time on this world was not long. (A bit too much?... Never!) 
This little guy served me well for a couple months, but eventually a new car stereo with an aux in banished the FM transmitter to the realm of abandoned electronics.
It toiled there until one day it's power source was brutally cut off and given new life as a USB power source in the car.
Now the iTrip lays mangled and forgotten, or rather it did, until the other day when I decided to re-purpose it. Yay!
Ok, so here's the plan: Give it a new power source and bring this puppy back to life.

Step 1 Tools of the trade.

What you are going to need to do this yourself:

Obviously the keystone for this project is a FM Transmitter.
There are many different ones out there and many of you probably have one laying around, but even if you don't they can be found for a lot less than the $50 that I paid in a music store a couple years ago.

Regarding tools, all I really used is in the picture below. 
A sharp blade, your favorite wire cutters, an implement for poking and prodding, long needelnose pliers, and some electrical tape; maybe some heatshrink tube to make it pretty, you know, if that's your thing. Pretty...

Last but not least, you will need some sacrificial wire, and a wall wart that outputs the same voltage as the original power source. We'll get more into that later.

Thank you, this is just the kind of thing I have been seeking!
