Hi, is the tube damage, because the pin 6 & 8 are no out put.

If you are testing the high voltage power supply, it would help to know the DC voltages on IA, IB, OA, OB, KregA, and KregB.

If the shiny silver coating inside the glass of the 12AU7 has turned white, then it's damaged.  Otherwise the issue is more likely to be with what has been constructed.

Also there’s no power measured in the MEJ5731 body.

And I check the power from B1 go through the led transistor led until to the MEJ5731 both side then in the middle pin there’s no power anymore.

OA.     0V
This would have me suspicious that the wrong R1 resistor is installed on that side of the board or there's a soldering issue on the bottom of the board.  There may also be a jumper that isn't located correctly. 

Could you post some photos of the board?

Now I change the led in the A side and the voltage comes out are
IA.     270
IB.     270
OA.    133
OB.    215
KA.        0
KB.        3V
What I next to check?

IB.       260
OA.      215
OB.      153
KregA.     7
KregB.    10


IA.       153
IB.       215
OA.      146
OB.      145
OC.      141
OD.      143

I would watch this video:


I see some joints that aren't really soldered, many cold joints, and some that really could use a little more heat.  Also be sure you are using 60/40 leaded rosin core solder.
