Turn it into a lamp.....
Pins 2 and 3.
Standard 6.3v supply but over 10amps heater current
Be an expensive "lamp" to run.

I was semi-joking but to be honest if it was dead I'd probably be bunging an LED inside it and mounting it on a nice plinth.Which pins do I connect to make it glow?
If it is dead you can have it for a lamp
How do I test it?
How did you come by it?IF it works...
I just need some instructions on how to test it

It’s only 500ma that one I believeYou need a few kilovolts at a lot of amps
Good luck
Is it even safe to test? Thyristors are used for generating all sorts of electromagnetic radiation. Microwaves and xrays.
Looking on youtube.... very carefully! Some pretty scary looking rigs cobbled together to make them work.If it is dead you can have it for a lamp
