Dated Aug 1980, it takes 9 D cells under a side-mount cover. I plugged it in and it made nice crisp and contrasty snow.

Now, if I could only find a DTV converter circuit board that would fit in and power off those batts.

Some of the newer issue RCA DTV convertors are rather small and operate from 9 VDC. The circuit board is about the same size as the outer case, which is rather small.
