I have been looking for one ever since I got my C64 C at a flea market With no cables. I have been doing some serious surfing and found two solutions to make your C64 run on a DC current. Option 1 involved building a 60 HZ clock and modding your C= and option 2 was this http://ide64.org/stuff.html I am in the process of building this, and just looking at the schematics, it looks entirely feasable. Just a little hint to those who have been stuck without a PSU, it's painful, I know.

Here's the schematic for the repairable C64 power supply that Commodore made:

Yes, but that's for those of us who are willing to mess around with AC current. :D
