Does that mean only the 6X5's heater is lit, and the other tubes' heaters are not lit? Or what?

Presumably you mean the HV secondary which connects to the plates (pins 3 and 5) of the 6X5. Have you measured between pins 3 and 5? It should be a few hundred ohms. The winding is center-tapped, so it should measure half that value from either plate to the CT**.
**Half the winding will show a slightly higher resistance than the other half. That's because the winding is layered, and the outer layers have larger radius (more wire per turn).
