Observation 1 is that TL10 is a litle low for Clarkian stuff.
Ob 2 is that plausible in 1917 and 2011 are different things.
As an example, magnetic levitation without maglev rails is junk now but prefectly plausible then.
I can think of little in UT hard science TL10 that would either be Clarkian or still functional 5000 years later.
I can only suggest that things your TL8 players might recognize as "3-dimensional solid state devices" might be taken as "regulating crystals" by your early TL6 characters. I think crystal radios were more than novelties in 1917.
