From the looks of your voltages it would appear that the oscillator coil is bad (open winding). Should have some - voltage on the control grid (one closest to the filament). Coil has 4 connections two should show a low resistance and the other two show a low resistance too. If only two have  resistance then remove the coil from the chassis and inspect it closely for green dots. This is a sign of rot (bad). Coil can be repaired by rewinding open winding w/new wire. Can go over this procedure if you with this is the case.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
