RE: 845

"a miniscule risk exists that the tube might fail at more usual HT voltage but that's not much of a risk."

You're wrong, it's a significant risk. Lots of things can go wrong at 1KV that won't show up in a tester. Heck, it's not uncommon even for low power tubes to test good on a tester, yet fail in actual service. Anyone who repaired radios and TVs for a living in the '50s and '60s can attest to that.
