Jeff, do you have a plasma globe? You know, one of the cool display like objects? If you do or know someone with one, the quickest test to see if the tubes contain gas is to hold them up against the plasma globe. If they glow then they’re probably OK, if not then the tubes have out-gassed somehow and are no good...:-(
