Sounds similar to Rejuvenate tubes article:

I wonder if a combination of methods would work;  over heating by 135% 
of rated voltage and  Pulsing with a low voltage to cause the filament 
to shake.

1. how much voltage potential would be acceptable between the filament 
and cathode since they are not physically connected.
2  what would be the frequency required to get the cathode and filament 
physically to shake a minute amount.
3. Reversing the voltage on the cathode put a positive on the cathode, 
Negative on one side of the filament, and plate would this help drive 
off impurities from the cathode.
