Actually using it for anything could be a bit... errrrr... interesting. :)
The heater power on that beast is only 100W but it should be interesting to fire it up for the first time since after the usual 10 minute heater warm-up you're supposed to pre-heat the anode for at least 35 mins using 500 volts, (limited to 6A.) You can probably get away with a bit less than the full 3000W but need to pass some serious current though it.
Perhaps a couple good sized heating elements in series as a load?
PartialDischarge:
Rectified AC mains (240 here :) ) should be enough to heat that, now I have to solve a more mundane problem which is getting pins that size (8mm diam, 28mm length) to make a tube socket.
