Indeed, sometimes you need to switch to a lower negative bias switch range. I find that quite a few tubes won't work at the specified bias range, but if they test good for emission with a reduced negative bias, they still seem to work quite nicely in a real set.

Tubes that are really dead won't give much emission at any bias setting.
