Or maybe the capacitors. Both seem reasonable.

6 to 8 minutes isn't long enough to warm up a tube radio, but it should receive shortly after you turn it on. If it's dead for that long after you power it up then I would take the prior advice here and check voltages in the power supply. I'm not familiar enough on that radio to know how they have the voltage regulator set up but it could be at fault also, Don't get electrocuted!
