The filaments are in series. It would take 10V @ 15 amps.
I'm not sure using DC would be a good test. You need the center tap for
the cathode return.

A crude test could be to feed both filaments with DC?, at least
temporarily
for testing purposes. A cheap power supply (although it is required to
rewire
the filaments in parallel), would be a personal computer one, Its 5V
output in
most cases are rated to 30A.
