Yes. If the resistance of the 0.82 ohm grid current meter shunt resistor
is within specifications, but the anode/plate current meter shunt
resistor is kaput, something else may have happened. The next thing I
would do is measure the grid/filament C and the grid/filament breakdown
V.

I would be inclined to test the accuracy of the 2, current metering
circuits.

You are welcome, Pete.
