What would happen if you connected the K1 up to say 16 vdc?

As far as I can tell it would work just fine.

I went through the schematics and found all of the components (I hope) that use the unregulated input voltage and researched them on the net. The results are:

Part            Description   Max Input Voltage
ZR78L06   6v regulator   20vdc
LM2930    8v regulator   26vdc
LM380      Audio Amp   22vdc
LT1252     Audio Amp    28vdc

I looks like the 6v regulator is the limiting component at 20vdc max input.
