In the past I have used an Omron G5V-2-DC6 when powering from 6.3V filament taps. Unreguated you should get around 8.8-9.2VDC and when the coil is activated the voltage at the coil will drop.

look at the sub miniature relays.

those come in 3 and 5v versions regularly.

To figure out what you need or want it's a good idea to take a tour through the Mouser catalog. I just got done figuring out an equivalent relay for a switching relay in a Peavey Valve king. It was a bit of work but I learned quite a bit about these things. Coil resistance, voltage, footprint, hold voltage, release voltage and so on. Prolly need a diode bridge there too.

The 5V DPDT relays I have are:

Omron G6A 234P ST US 5Vdc
Aromat DS2E-S- 5Vdc

Also have 12V in the Omron G5V-2- 12Vdc

All 3 at $1.50each
