The easiest to find is also going to be the cheapest in this case, which is the charger that originally came with the clamshell iBook G3s.  It works on those, the PowerBook G3s, the 3400, and the 1400.

Here's an example that's presently very cheap:

If you're looking at that model make sure you get one with the larger tip:

The one with the smaller black tip was used for the white dual-USB iBook G3s / iceBooks and won't work for you:
