You might still ask. Offer to pay the shipping cost. Someone who has way to
many might just give you one. Of course if you think about the cost of
batteries, the $20ish that it would cost you for a controller would be well
worth it.

Sure, why not. It can't hurt to ask, neh?
Is there anyone out there willing to give me a plug-in transformer? I'll pay
shipping costs, either as cash, or as credit in my next parts sale. Heck, if
someone steps up to bat, I'll offer them credit in my next sale, at whatever we
work out as fair.
Any altruists out there?
