The quickest way is to find someone near you who knows old tube technology
by heart. Some old-school HAM (radioamateur) for example.

Usually these works OK after not having been used for ages.
If you have 2 VDC for the filaments and abt 100 VDC just connect and see what you can hear in he headphones

Have fun. Ragnar

Warning!

Yes, just connect and see what you can hear in he headphones...

but, under any circumstances, NEVER exceed 2 VDC for the filaments!

Overheating quickly and irretrievably damages the directly heated cathodes of electron tubes!

Good luck!
