Very Rare 8045G Tubes - How to test???

I have recently been given four Luxman MB-3045 monoblocks (one has a tranny missing) and 13 of the VERY RARE 8045G tubes.

I have a Hickok TV-7D/U tester but have no idea how to test these tubes on it. Any help would be most appreciated!

Ultimately, I plan to sell the amps and tubes but I'd like to know how much life if left in the tubes before I list them.

Thank you!

Just set the tube tester per the typical operation conditions as shown in the datasheet, and see if the tube parameters are close to the spec.
