Hi Rich,
Did it get stations prior to the full recap? My general assumption on sets that look reasonably intact is that it probably more or less worked when it was last used. After replacing the just electrolytics I usually bring up a set on a variac and see if it's working. If it is that's a good baseline to start from before making my way through the rest of the recap.
Have you done an alignment or checked things out with a signal generator?
It might be useful to also check coil continuity (unless it was working prior to the recap).
