O'Keefe & Merritt. broiler won't stay lit

Our ancient all-gas early 1950s OKM's broiler won't stay on unless the gas safety button is held in.

The pilot is on, strongly, and the thermocouple is nicely bathed in its flame. If I hold in the safety button for the broiler, it lights right away, but it doesn't stay lit.

I figure it could be the thermocouple at fault, or the safety valve -- anyone know how I can test these?

Thanks!
