If you could have built a converter to take 5 volts at .5 amps to 12 volts at 1 amp, I'd be VERY impressed.
My best source for extra adapters as been to find the tip on a cord from the adapter bin at a local thrift shop, and "marry" it to a 12 volt DC 1amp adapter from my stash. A little solder and shrink tubing and you've got an adapter with a longer cord.
