Before buying a bunch of tubes, check to make sure you have filament voltages at each of the sockets (pins 1 & 8, IIRC) where the tubes are not lit. It may just be a problem with a filament line that has opened up.
You won't get much without the rest of those tubes in circuit. The most troubleshooting you would be able to do is to introduce a signal (touch with a screwdriver) the input grids of the 41's and listen for hum. It won't be very loud.
