Go to the next shop selling lowest quality toys, electronics and houselold items or a nearest flea market and you should be able to buy a very, very lousy "multimeter" for 3 Euro. Then you can use it to measure your power source if it has 5.2 volts on the output.

I don't know if you can measure the 5.2 Volts. Switched power supplies need a minimum load/current before they work. I'm not sure that the Voltmeter is enough for this power supply since it is a high resistor and the current is very low.
