So basically, in a sense - to rig this up with two alligator clips and my Astron Power Supply, black/negative to the ground and positive/red to the hot. Assuming this does not blow this mobile up, I want to err on the side of caution before I try to rig this up, it should power this unit on, correct?

This unit has 3 prongs aligned with each other and my goal is to fire it up with an external power supply and alligator clips. If, assuming the pointed end of the power plug is facing upward, which prong would be the hot (Positive) and which one to ground / negative? Any advice would be helpful! Thanks in advance and 73s John
