In that case, I think you will be fine. The tuning will be a bit off of course, 
due to the missing tube. I have done the same thing here with my Commander 2500 
when evaluating a number of 3CX800's one at a time. I did seal off the missing 
tube's socket, to be sure the remaining tube had plenty of air.

Appreciate the responses.  My Henry 2K also has the filaments in parallel.  
Your right, it was originally designed for 3-400's.  I failed to mention in my 
original post, it was upgraded to 3-500's with appropriate chimneys and caps.   
 It works great.

So if you have a Henry 2k with filaments in parallel and currently runs two 
3-500Z's with appropriate chimneys, could one test a single tube?  Wadda ya 
think?

Thanks  Brett  N5SQK
