Shouldn't the power light still stay on, even with a bad tube?

I thought you might be talking about filaments, since you said you knew nothing about tubes. I don't have any power lights and so i didn't think about actual power lights.
Cleaning the sockets and pins on the tubes may help.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
The ARC products use sensing circuits to make sure everything is right before it turns the unit on.It is in shut down because its sensing a problem with that tube most likely.Try pulling that tube out and reinserting it or clean the socket with a little dexoit from Radio Shack.It may have a little oxidation from sitting but if not,the tube is bad..I wouldn't suspect a bad solder connection as ARC doesn't typically have those but it is most likely in that tube..You could also take one of the other 6922s out and reverse it with that one to see if it lights up.
