I'm asking because I have a whole buttload of 19T8 tubes and no working 6T8 tubes currently.

I was thinking that I had heard (at least in series string sets anyways) that you could go slightly higher than the original rated tubes for testing purposes (e.g. 12BA6 in place of a 6BA6, and it wouldn't really harm the circuit).
I would say no to that substitution, it will push too much current though the 19T8, it is too far off.
