Hey, I just had my son read the wall-wart, and it is indeed 6V.
So looks like I am good to go with the car charger that I have.
I don't know why I thought it was 5V.

Thanks.

Hi Glenn,

do you have a V2/FM recorder?
According to http://www.rockbox.org/docs/devicechart.html, the chargers
for these are 6V.
Most cheap chargers aren't regulated, so output voltage would heavily rely
on the load (as in: if the jukebox pulls enough power, it's probably down
to 5V already). If you can find someone with a multimeter, you could
attach the jukebox to the plug, and measure the voltage. A not-so-long
exposure to a voltage this less higher won't do much hurt. Perhaps a
longer exposure won't hurt either, but I'm not sure about that.
