Testing Philco 41-300 tubes

I recently picked up a 41-300 which I want to restore. It looks real nice just looking at it and only thing that appears to be missing is power cord which I will replace. I am fairly new at posting on internet forums so if I am posting this question in wrong place forgive me.
My tube tester will not test half of the tubes on this radio , they are the "S" shape and "ST" shape tubes. I am looking for someone in the Southern Illinois area (Marion) who can help me test these tubes?
Thanks for any help out there.

Hi Bob

Welcome.
