19 Set Control Unit Batteries

[Chris Suslowicz]

Hi James,

Yes, they are "Cells, Dry, X, Mk.II" originally, those are the post-WW2 cardboard cased version (one variety, anyway), Battery, Dry, 1.1/2 Volt, No.12
(WB 0200, NBA 300 or 6135-99-910-1135). The modern contents are a 1.5 volt size 'F' dry cell (original cells were actually square section and wrapped in tarred paper, modern ones are circular cells in cardboard cases and wax-dipped.)

I don't believe there is any modern production of this unit. (What we need is someone with a 3D printer to mass-produce a casing that will take a 'C' cell in a holder that can be "dressed up" as a WW2-style item.)

Best regards,
Chris.
