I don't own a TV-7, so I never noticed that feature. Like you say, it might only detect tubes that are so noisy, it would be the result of a broken internal support or internal arcing. An AM radio isn't going to provide a noise floor low enough to compare small signal tubes for hi-fi characteristics.
