Y'know, if you can get a recording of that harmonic testing, perhaps Jeff can include it on the next CD.  "Music To Work On Your Boatanchor By".

It's not out of the question that you have a bad batch of 6DC6's, but more
likely that there's another broken connection.  Systematically tap around
mentally plotting where the harmonic is loudest -- start near the base of
that tube and work outward.  It may get louder somewhere else.
