The VT52 is also known as the 2C45 and/or the '45 Special.'
See the link below for more info.
I'm running mine with 7.0 vac on the filaments; 340 vdc plate-to-ground with an R(k) of 1k35 ohms (two 2k7 12 Watt Mills resistors in parallel). I'm going on memory here, but I believe the bias is approx 55 vdc.
As you might expect, the Western Electrics are the best sounding VT52s, although the other triple-V filament VT52s are almost as good.
