Yes, I think you are spot-on because my (old) memory always had me thinking it was definitely less than 12 volts at the coil - and the manual does explain it (vaguely) but gives no actual specifications for the correct operating voltage that I could find. I guess I thought it was 6 volts because that was the norm in those days and I had heaps of vehicles (including my Eskies) that had resistors/coils.
