Vogel VE Digitrak input power polarity?

Posted By Robert Post

I got a Vogel VE Digitrak AC Drive corrector in a telescope deal recently.
It did NOT come with a power supply, just a 1/8" input jack as would typically be used for 12 volts... with NO polarity marking. I feel VERY safe in guessing that it IS 12 volts. But I NEVER feel safe guessing at polarity, although center-positive would make the most sense, since cars are negative ground, and that would make the casing negative.

Does anyone have one of these? Can you tell me FOR SURE what the power input polarity is?
Thanks!
