For leaking lytics - check the polarity, voltage rating AND ripple current rating especially if it is the #56.
Also check the rectifier tube for shorts.
Now as for the B+: in 37-610 simply put your DMM between the Chassis GND (clip onto the chassis itself) and the "+" of the lytic cap #53.
What it tells you....well, simply stated it tells you that the radio has been powered and the plate voltages have their power source working. After that, whether or not any given plate receives the power is still unknown and has to be checked with the DMM.

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.
