I have instructed Scotty to put the tube on his test bench and apply 6.3 volts and let it run for several day non-stop to see if the neck glass will hold.
Really do hope after all that work it's a good 'un, fingers most definitely crossed! However if trying to root out whether there is a possibility of a failure, wouldn't it be better to cycle the heaters as simply running the tube continuously won't necessarily put the kind of stress on the tube that it'd get in real use.

TTFN,
Jon
