Hi Andy and group,

I like to heat them for at least an hour before putting any voltage on 
the anode since they're old.  I prefer several hours. I have tested them 
after a nominal ten minute warm up and found them to be fine but I 
wouldn't put full HV on them in that time.  In any case, I would avoid 
4KV and above.

73, Tony W4ZT
