Hey everyone, new to the forum. :)

I recently found my old A500 and 1200 and would like to fire them up. I thought it best to check the A600 psu I have however, and my multimeter reports the following voltages.
5.16v
-14.5v
11.78v

Given that the center pin should be -12v, would people agree that -14.5v is too high now and therefore not safe to power the machines? I don't know enough (though I'm learning all the time!) about electronics to make a call on this myself. I think I've seen in the past people say that there's a certain amount of wiggle room in safe voltages, hence why I thought I'd run it past any knowledgable people here.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

You did not state that the measurements you took were under Load conditions or Unloaded (Measured on the pins while not connected).

To get a true reading, measure while the Amiga is powered up.

Open circuit readings are often a bit strange.

Also, is you Multi Meter a quality Calibrated item, or just a cheapo.. ?

A good rule of thumb, if it's within 10%, it's probably ok.

Wol..

Those voltages are fine.
