Do you have a talking meter you can check voltage or ohms with?  I can 
check my kenwood power cords and tell you which one is plus.  Another 
trich that works, if you know which lead out of your power supply is 
ground is to hook that one to a tround on your caase, mouting screw or 
whatever.  If you hook up the actual ground wire to the hot side of your 
supply, it will short it and should just shut down.  If the radio works, 
then you know you have it right and hook up the actual ground wire to the 
supply.  Hope that makes sense.
