Good advice.
I am no expert but I believe you can't rely too heavily on any tube tester. The actual circuit where the tube goes is the best tester.
I downloaded the 51s1 manual just to have a look. The BFO is one tube. I would try another, there are probably many types that could substitute
there if you don't have a good spare. I am thinking it maybe has a filament to cathode short or leakage of some kind that lets the AC filament signal onto
the BFO signal. But just a guess.
