Speaker unplugged....always a bad idea if tested with rectifier in. Never ever do that again (and yes it is the same as having your field open).
Although in 20s case it is not as bad, in some others it could be really bad.
Speaker should be in, and the integrity of output xfmr and the field coil should be confirmed first.
So should be confirmed the absence of shorts across the filaments and B+ voltage lest your radio goes up in smoke.
And.....before following some guy on youtube, you are better off asking here. At least we will try to make you understand your actions and the possible consequences; youtube won't do it.

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.
