While cleaning out Mom's rental house I've doubled my collection of unmatched
orphan tools.  But now I'd like to use one.  It's a Makita 3.5 inch 
circular saw.
The charger is missing.  A new battery is 50 bucks.

Since this is a 9.6 volt tool, would it be possible to convert this thing 
to run on AC?
My guess is that the average Radio Shack AC to DC converter for a transistor
radio would be too small.

There's nothing on the tool to indicate what its current requirements might be.
Any ideas on the feasibility of rewiring this thing?  I hate to throw it away.
