It is true voltages may differ as I have a spec anode voltage that is meant to be only about 64 volts. However, to answer your question 9 volts was the source voltage for both transistor radios. At the time I thought 5 odd volts was a bit low but, for now, it is just filed to the back of my mind.
Miguel has found breaks in the holders (the legs) so will keep checking.
Now you mentioned engines, I do that as well. My current engine has a cable operated stop solenoid and hydraulic gearbox. It uses epicyclic gearing. It was made around 1974 but still running. I found out the gearbox is pretty similar to the Sturmy Archer cycle mechs used prior to the modern derailleur. I also worked on vintage VW engines like the Jetta (also Seventies).
I find the old engines more robust.
