RE: 845

What modes of failure would an adaptor (and of course a decent tester) not identify? The only thing we'd be doing is running the tube at lower than normal voltages. Sure a miniscule risk exists that the tube might fail at more usual HT voltage but that's not much of a risk.

Heater voltage and current requirements needs to be dealt with but even that could be supplied externally if the tester has insufficient capability.

Even the higher than normal grid bias voltage requirements would drop significantly with lower HT voltage.
