| Hi Kurt,
  A good (or at least gas free) 4-1000A should exhibit less that a uA of 
leakage up to 20KV.
 
  Check it cold.
  Also ensure that the glass is clean prior to the test.
73 & Good afternoon,

I have a 4-1000 tube of questionable origin.  I don't have an amplifier to test 
it and before asking someone to drop it in their amp I want to test as best I 
can first. My Hi Pot setup goes to 10KV.  What voltage should I be able to go 
to (grid/anode)and what would be an acceptable leakage (in micro amps)at that 
voltage?  Should this test be with or without energized filaments?  Anything 
else I should do or know about.  Thanks in advance,  Kurt...
