It was offered in new DD machines, so it can be called 'genuine', yes. I
don't think there's any special indication on the ID tag. About 1.5 volts
is needed to operate, and that was originally provided by a tall "ignition"
cell - you could use a couple of D cells in parallel, today. My 250 has a
square metal battery bracket in the rear-left corner, behind the horn - I've
always used cheap 6volt lantern batteries which haven't hurt anything yet
(25+ years and thousands of plays)

OK everyone. Thanks. Questions:
Was this a genuine Edison option? and if so...
Should this this accessory be designated in some special way on the ID
tag?
was the power source-what type of battery? Should there be a special
place
below the motorboard to put the battery?
