More or less what Rod said.

If your cap connects to a tube's pin (grid, plate) without anything else (e.g. a resistor), then, especially with the tube out, the cap can be tested in circuit.
Otherwise lift one pin up.
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.
