wouldn't be much too it.
all you need would be a hand full of resistors, using ohm's law to
calculate the values. The values would be calculated at the max
current the TRx series would draw.
On would need to load the 6.3 v filament down to the same current as
the tubes, if you don't the unloaded transformer would produce more
voltage than normal since it's not powering the tubes.
a couple of cheap LED digital panel mount meter could be used to
monitor the voltages, plate, screen, and bias
likewise a meter could be used to monitor current on the plate supply.
I don't feel it would be necessary to monitor bias current or screen
voltage current either.
it would be an interesting project, that would make checking the
supply quick. A few test points for an 'oscope to monitor ripple would
be icing on the cake
