Depending on what we're talking about here, most devices will tolerate +/-15%, or in your case, 7.65v to 10.35v. A 6V power supply will only give the device 66% of the power it's rated for (not enough).

Even if you could find an adapter that would fall within the 15% tolerance, it's not a good idea to try it. A multi-voltage adapter can usually be purchased for cheap at your local RadioShack or if you're feeling lucky, you might be able to find one at any place that recycles electronics (Goodwill or any local recyclers).
