That he does 
I think he is right, if you went through it; it could very well be what he thinks it is, which is a hot tube defect.
I wonder if this can be tried (only in case you have no spare 24): 20 is a TRF and even without the first tube if the antenna or the finger are connected to the second tube the same station (strong local) could be received. Or so I think. If this is the case, you could substitute the 24 tubes in the same socket (say, the second RF tube) until the defect shows up/disappears, and figure out which tube causes that.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
