	One caution.  Tubes like that can be gassy.  I'd want to look at the
getter spot.  If it's bright and shiny great, if it's white and milky
looking NG.  Frequently it's somewhere in between, and then it's a coin
toss.  Other than that a fine choice, and the plate voltage from an MOT
would be just about right.
