Hi John Joe,
Today the set was switched on from 11:10 to 13.25. At switch-on the eight AA cell battery voltage was just over 12V. At the time of switch-off the voltage was down to 9.5V. But that's OK because the set will operate without any deterioration to performance with the supply as low as 8volts.

Hi Peter,
And that was with the low consumption "96" series valves with 25mA filaments.
