Is there a dumpster / bin that you know of with electronics waste in it
that you can take items out of (legally or otherwise)? It is quite
likely that you can find a 7805 in a device in the bin quicker than
ordering one, and the parts are much more likely to be good than random
e-bay purchases.
 
Look for something that runs off a heavy wall-wart, like a really old
modem from the mid-90s, that likely has a 7805 in it, but a lot of other
stuff would too - e.g. CRT monitors or fax machines.

Really? Dumpster Diving for a $0.65 (+ tax) part? And a used one at that?

**I don't know that, specific, model, but I am familiar with the type of
mechanism. They are horrible to work on. I refused to take them in for
service many years ago. Just not worth the effort. Carousel types are
much easier.
