   this electrical device is a special sort of terrible: They labeled the polarity of the DC power jack, but not the voltage (or current, for that matter)

     I shouldn't have to disassemble your device and find the voltage regulator and read the datasheets to know how many volts to give you!

     It's an L7805: so the max voltage is 35v, recommended voltage is about 10v?

     @foone 9 to 12 depending on heatsinking, aye. Works down to seven and a half.
