I'm building a power supply for an 8 transistor radio, that originally
used 6 "D" cells, involving a rectifier bridge, filtering caps etc,

outputting 6 volts that fits in the case I want to use.

Those six D cells give 9V fresh, over 6V until they're dead.
And the output impedance is low (similar to a regulated power supply).
So, look for a wall wart with regulated DC output in the 6 to 9V
range. It'll work.
