If the cans are orig, see if they are warm (remember on doublers one of the cans while have voltage on the case with respect to the chassis, should have a cardboard cover).
Confirm line voltage ok (I go to the easy stuff 1st).
If B+ is ok then I would start checking voltage on the 6JS6 tube mainly the control grid voltage (-60v)and the screen (135v).
other things, are those large white tube caps, think at least one is a boost filter cap, maybe leaky if not replaced already. .1 1kv could be loading down the fly.

Bingo!
The caps on the doubler were going south. I'm going to go ahead and replace them and the last of the other electrolytics I haven't replaced yet. Thanks for the help guys!
