Try an automotive store. Look for a device called a battery eliminator
anything north of 3 amps at 12 V should work fine. OTOH, have you looked
at
radios from Tivoli? They sell a nice little all-in-one called the Tivoli
Music System. It's expensive ($599 from Music Direct), but the Wife
Acceptance Factor will be much higher than trying to integrate a car
stereo
into your kitchen. It hits all of your points: Radio, CD player, aux
input,
MP3 on CD, etc.
