When you say you let it "bake overnight," what exactly did you do?

I'm asking because I have the same Sencore tester, and I want to do that to one of my tubes. I have zero experience using it, so I need a little help with these tricks.
Basically, letting the tube sit with a slightly elevated filament voltage for a prolonged period (I usually let it go overnight). Think 7-8 volts for a standard 6.3V filament. I have found this to bring emissions back in a fair number of CRTs without having to go the potentially destructive route of rejuvenation. It even kinda-sorta worked with this one, but Trinitrons are infamous for dying hard deaths, and this one is unfortunately no exception.
