How can I find out how much the mixer needs?

Anyway, assuming 250mA is fine, do you think this will be okay, and safe?

That should work just use a proper toggle for the power.... and as far as power needs the device should only use what it needs... so the 800 would be fine...

Ah cool. Thanks man. I think I'll get that 250mA one and try. LINK

Is there any way I could measure the amperage that the mixer is using? Would a multimeter help?

Yes you should be able to with a decent Multi Meter (digital would probably be best for this)

One problem with the transformer you linked.... Its output is not DC... Its AC... Transformers are AC components and you would have to build a Rectifier circuit for it pretty much like the one I made for a halogen to LED desk lamp mod (LINK to Gallery)... This is why I suggested the others which are already suited for DC application.

Crackedit open, and wired it up, I'm gonna make it secure though before I plug in. I need some larger heatshrink tubing.
