Yes, that is good not to disconnect.
However do not expect this to work with caps - it won't. Unlike with the resistors, to measure a cap most of the times you do have to disconnect.
But you did say you replaced the caps, so you do not have to measure them. You only have to recheck that you soldered them in correctly. It is not likely, or rather is downright unlikely that
you got bad caps.So you could forgo testing the caps. Just check the connections.
PS. FOr your sake I hope you simply were pulling out the old caps and soldering in the new ones. It is a bad idea to take out all the old ones and then put the new ones using the schematic: Philco schematics are know to have errors in them, and then you might read the sch wrong too.
