... that part has been discontinued.

But Jonesy's link tells you all you need to know.
The Fry Baby written instructions say the power in is via a 3.5mm jack, the schematic shows the center is positive (+). The 9 VDC Mouser wall wart Hagerman specified supplied 100mA, and came with a 3.5mm "Phone Plug".
The specifications for the wall wart are shown at the Mouser link below. Look for a replacement 9VDC wall wart with a 3.5mm male phone plug, center positive, that supplies 100mA or more current.
If locating a male "Phone Plug" wall wart proves difficult, I'd think about changing the DC jack in the Fry Baby to a standard female DC power type jack. Or, you could find a surplus 9V supply, clip off the connector and solder one of these onto it.
See my other reply regarding specs and polarity. Note polarity in the link below. And see if there is a symbol on your unit.
Getting there...
Going to pack it in for tonight though.
Cheers!

There is no symbol on the unit, but Jim emailed with the answer re polarity.

Indeed we did. Thanks!

I hope everyone using a Frybaby will consider also buying Jim Hagerman's Frycorder. It complements what a Frybaby can accomplish.

Thanks, David. Was not aware of that product.

It's the right sized plug, wired with the correct polarity.
Good find.
With matching 100 mA, but I think the 500 mA might work out better?

I'll always opt for a larger current capability, especially if prices are about the same, as they are with the two you found. As you noted in one of your other posts, you can go higher with regard to current, just not lower.
Years ago I was buying a 3 amp transformer at Radio Shack, and the guy at the counter told me I would burn up whatever it was I was building because the transformer supplied too much current. I asked him why I could plug a 10 watt night light into a wall outlet capable of supplying 15 amps, and not burn up the light.
He didn't know, but the answer is that the night light only draws about 80mA, despite it being plugged into an AC outlet capable of delivering 15A.
I've always gone higher too. Thanks for confirming!
Cheers!

The trick will be finding one that uses a phone plug. Otherwise 120 VAC Adapter, 9VDC, 100mA (can be slighter higher mA, but NOT lower).
I've seen the phone plug options on the multi-universal adapters, but only go that route as a last resort.
You can try searching around the net. I'll do that too, and maybe another inmate may have a recommendation.
Does your input jack have a symbol that shows polarity. I'm not quite sure on this area. The universal adapters have reversible polarity.
Hopefully can come up with something next day or so.
Cheers!
