1> My Maximite is getting really hot, and I was wondering if I could use a computer psu to power my maximite(Overkill). Could I use the 7V option ( +12 and +5 )?



2> I have two transformers

Both say 9 V, One at 300mA, and the other 1.2A

When I measure with my multimeter they read 13.1V and 14.8 V Respectively

Is there something wrong with my transformers?

3> I built an Altronics kit #3220. Versatile low voltage adapter. Which has an outputs of 3,5,6,9,12,15 V Should I just use another one of those to supply 9V? ( and it measures 9V when I set it to 9V)....Probably the best way to go, only 7 AUD.

Cheers
