Default Need power supply for clock.

Does anyone have a clock like this? I'm looking for the specifications on the power supply for the neon light part. The clock itself runs on one AA battery but there is a small plug in for the light. It is 15 inches in diameter with the clock face being 12 inches. A friend of mine found this in the basement of an apartment he is renting and gave it to me.
Specs I would like to get...
Power supply voltage
Milliamp rating of the power supply
Is it positive on the inside or the outside of the plug?

Thanks in advance!


FREE clock!

Backside of clock. Roughly left of center is where the power supply plugs in.

Check out other postings. Here is what I suggested on the same subject:
"On eBay you will find transformers or adapters that have multiple voltages, multiple plugs, and usually multiple amperages. Also you can switch the polarity of the plug. They are quite inexpensive and work great. I suggest that you buy one and then play. Adjust from low voltage up and you will not cause any damage.

Here is an example:

I appreciate your suggestion but I'd be screwed if the center was negative. I figured someone on here would have one and could look at their power supply.

See the two links in my post #2 in this thread. Looks like this is the company that made your clock.

Look carefully at my message and the example I suggested. You set the polarity. Put in an other way you set the center as positive.
