I have a high-pot tester that I've used for testing vacuum caps.  I'd like
to use it to test various, mostly glass, tubes, as well.  However, I don't
have a clue as to what the voltage used should be, nor what would be
acceptable leakage; or, between which electrodes.

I've googled for information, but have come up short.

Are there any rough guidlines for hipoting glass transmitting tubes?
