If it works then save all that (cumbersome) troubleshooting...
I am guessing the speaker frame has the output transformer... If the set was in a damp environment, transformer bobbin covered with fuzzy from mold there is a good chance it may be leaking from primary to the core.
If the speaker can be electrically/mechanically lifted from the chassis try that and see if there is B+ present. DO suppose there is a leak, as miss-handling the speaker with a leaking transformer can give a very unpleasant shock and possible muscle reflex damage to the cone.
