take your DVM and put the black probe on the Barrel, put your red probe in the Barrel, it will read positive + on your meter if it's a positive power supply, if it read's neg - then it's negitive. this will also tell you the voltage, and without a load it will probably read 12 or 14 volt's. some i've seen will read 9 volt,
