You can do it without speakr.
1. It is OK to turn it on without the speaker and without rectifier tube.
2. It is OK to turn it without the speaker and the output tube. If this is done, make sure the caps are discharged before you touch stuff after turn-off.
3. It is OK to turn it on with all tubes in and no speaker BUT: a) see #2 about the turn-off and b) NEVER plug in the speaker hot, c) Keep the volume pot all the way to the left, d) Don't do it
By the same token do not unplug the speaker hot.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
