Hi and welcome to the Phorum!
I would use a pin point oilier to get into some of the tight places that require lubrication. Be careful around the dial drive cables there a bit of a pain to replace or reattach.
As for the caps you've got several in a big black metal can with tar to hold them in place. There is a few under the chassis in a small metal inclosure. And last but not least 3 or 4 jobs that have resistors in series with them under the chassis too.
Wouldn't replace the tubes just for the fun of it the ones you have are likely to be ok. The alignment isn't difficult. Neutralize the RF stages and then peak them up at 1400kc or so. It's not uncommon for the primaries of the rf coils to go bad (open) but easy to rewind. And the audio driver to go open too. Not hard to find a replacement.
