Is there any modern replacement available? Original external chargers are probably even harder to find than working Woodstocks, even more so for the 19C (for which I assume this advice to be valid as well).

Can the danger of the original chargers be overcome by replacing them with a regulated voltage supply?

You can pull the batteries out of the pack and charge them in an external AA battery charger.

Replacing the original charger with a regulated power source might be safer but any “safe” voltage would not charge the batteries.
