Hey Bill I got an idea, it's simple and probably the best way to go.   
Using a small 5A variac connected to a 1RPM mini motor with a stop connected to 
 
the rotation angle where the filament voltage is exactly 5v for a 3-500z.   
When you turn the switch on the motor slowly ramps up the line voltage in 
one  minute to the perfect 5v mark and shuts off.  This does 2 things, it 
slowly  ramps up the filament voltage to avoid transients and also sets the 
perfect  voltage as well.
