Update:
The filament continuity test was easy enough, so I did that and everything seemed to pass. However, my replacement bulb for my tester came today and I decided to test everything following the booklet instructions: one of my 24s failed the cathode short test. Of course it had to be the really cool, old Philco branded globe style which is probably original. Additionally, my 27 tube technically passed, but in the final test, the needle was in the "?" area, so guessing that one is iffy.
I know I at least have a bad 24, so I'll need one of those.
