If you want to try tuning it before repairing the action, you could just 
pluck the strings of the non-functional keys. You aren't going for a 
concert tune, just an assessment of tunability.  You'll still get a feel 
of the block and you haven't wasted any time on repairs which may be 
superfluous.
