Well....no reception....some audio....yep, a bad tube can cause it. So can other things.
But the good practice is, start with ALL known good parts, and you save yourself TONS of time, literally.
Tubes as easily removable and replaceable parts to me should be checked prior to the final check 100%. I NEVER will insert an unknown condition tube in a radio. At best it won't work, at worst.....it can blow your power, fry your resistor.....

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.
