There are plenty of DC Adapters entitled as 12Vdc@xxmA that in real supply
15Vdc up to @100mA, this somehow helps a lot, isn't it?  Nothing that a
7812 with one or two diodes in series at the ground lead to output you 12.6
or 13.2V, and another 7805 for the 5V.  Simple, neat, low cost and easy,
what is a difficult thing to get, right?  "Simple" and "Easy" are not
synonyms, and they are not found together very often.
