  I saw a (Standard A.M.) Audio/Video transmitter/receiver pair being sold
  at Fry's Electronics as the "Rabbit" system for $ 30.00 yesterday.
  They both use "wall wart" power supplies.  Seems like they had about 
  a hundred of them in a bin.  (American bulk merchandising container).
  
  Would this be helpful?                              -- Len
