Default What do these tube tester readings mean

AVO 163 tester for current draw and mutual conductance. Tube 1 -
0.8/1.1 & 0.8/1.1 Tube 2 - 0.8/1.1 & 0.7/1.0. New measurement is 1.0/1.2

Testing a 5751/12AX7

DOn't these results while showing the tube works indicate at least half
the useful life of the tubes already gone?
