Checking circuit voltages is one of the best ways I know of locating faulty components.

A set with a leaky grid coupling capacitor will run as expected for a while, then bang goes your output valve, output transformer and possibly the mains transformer if there is one. Better by far to check that there's no positive voltage on the control grid.
