Need help with a Fisher T-20

[starprince]

I have a fisher T-20 and I want to get it working again. I think it only needs a battery (one of those odd ones ). Can a modern battery be adapted to make it work?

Thank you for any help

I just picked up one the other day, I Paid $20 for it, it'll be a wall hanger but my t-20 came with everything. the battery is a c size 12.6 volt made by duracell. not avalilble any more, or as much as i can find on the web. As soon as i find out how much amps it put out then i will see if the larger 12.6 battery will work.
The guy i bought it from said the last time he used it it worked for him and has been hanging in the garage for many years, But to look at it, you woyuld swear it was never out of the box. I guess Fisher was once in Palo Alto, California

Happy hunting

BatteriesPlus think they can order me one but I need the numbers and type of battery is is. I have never seen one but must be a lot of T-20 owners left. Do all Fisher T-20's now hang on walls batteryless? I will not find a big treasure with it. I promise! Just want to try it and then hang the darn thing.
