My Uncle had one of those when they came out. I was like eleven at the time and thought it was pretty neat.
It used that Burgess XX9 battery that wasn't that readily available at the time. I don't remember the alternate Eveready numbers. They also claimed that the same battery was used in a garage door remote.
