In my quest to get a lighter/smaller power supply for my KX-1, I
found a wallwart in my junk box. Says 12V, 1A. Actually puts out
14.9V according to the KX-1's 'bat' display.

Specs call for 7-14v. Am I risking damage by exceeding that? It
looks like D2/D3 (1N5817) are prepared to block 20V reverse. 

I can keep looking; I'm mostly 'just wondering'. It's kind of
heavy, anyway (I'm sure it's a linear, not switcher, which
is, of course, a mixed blessing.)

Thanks.
