Blowing the fuse, which IIRC is what happened to the original poster.
I had that happen once in my SB-1000 that had sat for about four
years. As soon as I turned it on there was a bright flash, a loud pop
and the AC fuse blew. I used a variac to bring up the AC slowly and
it was apparent the tube had become gassy. Very pretty purple glow
inside. :-)
