You know, if the transistor equipment has regulators in the power supply, that's probably very accurate. Looking at the 19's schematic, doesn't look like it does. It's a fairly beefy piece of equipment. But why chance it. The 17 DOES have regulators.
If you don't want to plug them in & turn them on, look up a reliable shop- probably your best bet.
