Actually a sagging element is not a bad idea at all - warming up and pop may very well be a bad tube that needs to warm up enough to quit.
Could be tested on your tube tester - leave it for approximately the time it takes for the radio to quit and see if the test fails after that.
Start with oputput tube and go back.
Again, "grid touch" test will reveal whether you even have to look at the last two tubes.
