You said that one of the 45's doesn't light up. Remove it from the set and swap it with one that does.Does it light now? If not remove it and measure the resistance across the two fat pins (1 and 4). Should show a short, if not the filament is burned out or it has a bad connector where it is solder onto the base. If you are lucky you can try resolded it and should light if not it's a dud.If it does light when you put it in the other socket clean socket. If you are not showing any voltage from the filament to the grid or plate you shouldn't be hearing any thing. radio would be doa. Check meter.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.
