The order you suggest (replace-test-replace-test) for recapping is unnecessarily long.
You should replace all electrolytic and backelite block caps.
You do know (against better advice you powered the radio up; bad idea but now that you have the information would be even worse to waste it) the radio is working, meaning it probably has all critical parts in order. So, start replacing all those caps (except mica) until done. Then retest.

The resistors are only replaced if way out of tolerance. Else leave them be.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
