I make an adapter to do this, male square plug to female 7 pin DIN.  

square              7 pin DIN
  1                    5
  2                    2
  3                    6
  4                    7

You then can use any available C64 power supply.  

Note: See the C64 power supply schematic on funet for the DIN plug
numbering. The female plug would be the mirror image of that.

Using my multimeter I've managed to figure out which leads provide the 9V AC (brown & yellow), but how do I know which is ground and which is +5V? When I connect the red probe to the white lead and the black probe to the green lead, I get a +5V readout. If I switch them around, I get -5V. Please help me out!
