One of the challenges of this mod is finding a spot to fix the transformer, and to find as small a transformer as possible. I've used encapsulated transformers from Rapid Electronics for other projects from time to time, basically, because thery're high quality, short circuit proof, compact and cheap. I've just checked the size and price of their smallest 6V encapsulated transformer, which has two 6V 0.75A windings (which could be paralleled of course), ample for the task in hand.
It's just 27mm x 32mm x 24mm high ( approx 1” x 1.25” x 1”), and costs just £2.86 + VAT + Post:

Neat eh?
There's the small problem of mounting, but I guess that (with a little lateral thinking!) a narrow metal strap could be fashioned to screw to the chassis somewhere.
The datasheet at the link gives all the details of the spec.
Hope that's of interest.
