First Tube Failure

Hi,

I had a tube fail for the first time that caused a fuse in the amp to blow. Thankfully, I replaced the fuse and all of the tubes in the amp and things are back to normal.

I would prefer to keep some of the previous tubes. What is the best way to test them? I have an older Hickock (sic.) tester, but I don't want to risk it (or worse my amplifier) with a tube that causes a fuse to blow.

What approach would you recommend?

Thanks,
Lynn
