[Amps] Photos posted of high voltage test setup of a YC-176

[LB3HC]

I just hipot tested my recently acquired YC-176 vacuum tube that is intended for a possible future project. It  leaks less than 15uA at 16KV A to G. I have not yet applied heater current as there is no gettering material at the cathode if I have interpreted the data sheets correct. You can see some images of the tube and the hipot tester here if you are interested http://www.lb3hc.net/?p=1116 I assume I have a good tube when it shows that low leakage at 16KV (DC). Any opinions on that?
