I have a vintage Celestron (Vixen) 8x50 Illuminated RA Finderscope (Made in Japan) that I just purchased here on AM. Does anyone know which batteries the Illuminator takes? Thanks, Luis

If you go to batteryguys com and do a search on PX14A, you will find the replacement batteries for this finder. They cost $5.99 plus shipping.

Good Luck,
