Old Muntz TV for sale Locally to me, Should I pick it up?

Another thought... pull the 6V6 and see if the voltage on pin 3 changes, either referenced from pin 8 or ground.

6v6 tube pulled I get over 300 volts DC on pin 3 of the 6V6 tube socket, and it drops as the rest of the tubes warm up. Perhaps I have bad 6V6 tubes?!

Edit: I installed a known good (a brand new never used Sovtek 6V6 tube) into the TV and measured Pin 3 in reference to ground and got over 300 VDC on pin 3 and got some audio out of ther speaker as well, but when pin 3 is measured against pin 8 of the 6V6 tube as per the manual I only get 25-30 VDC on pin 3.
