Bad or weak tubes on a tester don't always translate into non functioning tubes. I would start by doing voltage checks (assuming you have a DMM) on the tube pins to make sure they are within reason of what is provided on the schematic. What other testing tools (sig gen, tracer, etc...) so you have, if any?
