Fine Art sound in C&O Allegheny

I have a Fine Art C&O 2-6-6-6 Allegheny. I got it second hand. It has sound in the tender. There is a separate controller for the sound. The controller takes a 9 volt battery. There is a provision in the tender for a battery holder as well but it didn’t come with one. The battery holder holds two nine volt batteries. Problem is I don’t know if it would be a nine or eighteen volt for the sound system in the tender. Any input is appreciated

Can you post some closeups? Perhaps make out the manufacturer name on the board?

Put two batteries in and use a meter to measure the voltage from the battery pack.

I don't really understand why you ask. If it came that way from Fine Arts, then that's what makes it work. Maybe some photos would clarify, as Greg suggests.
