REPLY:
Be aware there are two versions of this tube and the sockets are not
interchangeable. The difference is the length of the center pin. If you
have the wrong one (as I did) it is possible to remove the existing
center pin from the socket and fabricate a new one which slips on
independent of the socket. A bit of a job but it works fine.
Also, from my experience - keep the HV down to about 2 kV max. The data
sheet rates them at 3.3 kV but they are prone to arc internally at
voltages above 2 kV. Others have reported this too.
