Make sure the tubes were tested with a good quality mutual/transconductance tester such as the UK made AVO VCM 163, German Neuberger 375 or one of the better US Hickok 5xx series, or the like.
Any readings off a simple emission tester are rubbish and totally useless.

Get the transconductance reading in either US Gm (micromhos)or European mA/V (milliamps per volt), as well as the corresponding anode/plate current.
