Your pilot is connected to all the tubes' (sans 5Y4G) filaments in parallel.
If all tubes glowing, then there is a problem with the wire to the lamp (the other contact is connected to chassis).

Start with your voltages. Plates, filaments...
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
