The easiest way to check for HV is with a HV probe. If you don't have one, 
treat yourself. I got a used Heathkit on E-bay for around $20 some years 
ago, it's self-contained with a gauge right in the handle.

Of course, for us hairy Italian types a quick and dirty method is to place 
the back of your hand near the tube, and if the hair stands up, you probably 
have HV.
:-)

If you don't have HV and have a red, go to the Ampliphone HV FAQ and follow 
the steps.
