Mitch, You;re welcome!

The Chicagoland MG club article also suggests that you can use an analog voltmeter to test the polarity, which is true and easy to do, but I would suggest also using a high ohm resistor between the meter leads so you don't peg the needle or damage the meter. Something like a 100K ohm resistor will work fine.
