Hi folks,
I recently stumbled across a Commodore 16 power supply. I'd like to keep it
on hand as a spare. But I'm a little worried. The output is specified as
9.5VDC, but when I measured with my DMM, I got 14VDC! I didn't know if it
needs a load to bring it down, or if the PS is just shot.
Any thoughts?

No worries at all, mine does the same thing. The wall wart has no regulator
in it, so it will do that. The label is what the output is UNDER LOAD.

... and the "wall wart" :-) is actually quite reliable. I use mine with a
stereo system, since I don't have a C16 (but I do have some parts for a
European 116; I just need a motherboard if someone has one spare!!).
