Well, I am not sure about that one. The only concern I would have is if it's input was protected from B+. The old Heathkits that I use are good to "sniff" just about anywhere, B+ included.
You just start at one end - antenna or output - and look for where the problem (motorboating) starts or where the signal disappears. So you could start on the grid of the first tube, which is tuned, and should be able to hear stations. Moving on from there, from plate to grid, you should notice some gain in each stage - until you encounter your issue.
