A general purpose tube tester is great for sorting out gross defects. But the devil is in the details, such as high frequency RF circuits and high impedance AVC/AGC.
An old school TV repairman taught me years ago that you don't toss a tube just because it tests low/weak/bad on a tester. If it works to spec in circuit it is "good".
