...

  Could you give more information?  RadioShack has
made at least three
 different products with that catalog number.  
 That is all I have. Just a sticker, basically saying to use the 270-1551. 
Oh, I see, You don't have the supply, rather something that was designed 
to be powered from it. So you can't test the supply itself.

I wopuld guess the supply is 9V (same as the battery pack -- assuming the 
cells are in series). 

Try sticking a bare plug of the appropriate type into the power socket. 
You will most likely find that one terminal of said plug is connected to 
one side of the battery pack (check with an ohmmeter), which will then 
give you the polarity.

...

  Are batteries that expensive?  Seems to me you
should be able to pick up
 some cheap drug-store C cells for under $10.  
 I do not want to invest ten bucks into something that is probably
 worth ten bucks. I do not have anything else that uses C cells. 
Jury-rig an alternative 9V pack from cells that you do use?
