Before you attempt any sort of rejuvenation technique on a globe type tube try re-soldering the tube pins, particularly the cathode and heater pins, and the grid cap. Sometimes a tube with a bad solder joint on the grid cap will test as weak, one with a bad solder joint on the cathode will test weak or test with zero emission. On a 27 or a 26 the grid is connected to one of the small pins, the plate is connected to the other.
