I mean I tested with 4 tubes. The tubes all give the same values more or less (12 - 15mA).
But WAY out of spec... like completely.
12mA @ 167V seems not a very linear region to me. I aimed for 25mA, but got a bit less bias than expected. Apparently the heater draws a bit less current then the data sheet says.
