Need battery info for Simpson 260

[Don Winn]

I have been given a Simpson 260 without batteries. I know the top battery is a
"D" call but need to know what other battery I need.

The movement says it a 260 and with ink has added 52 after the word SERIES.

The meter looks like a standard but it also has a white RESET button to the
right of the output jack. The battery in question appears to be about 1 1/2"
long and the connections look to be made at each end of the battery like a AA
battery, not at the same end like a 9 volt battery.

I would like to get this meter working. There are times an old Amalog meter
can't be replaced with a digital readout. Any help appreciated.

The 260 Series 6P uses a 9V NEDA 1604A battery and the 1.5V D cell.
