Other than the caps, there are many things in radios.
You could measure voltages and see if all plate voltages are present, for starters.
Also, check all resistors, check all wiring (40-180 is exposed to rubber-jacketed wire plague, where it cracks and falls off), and then check all the coils for continuity.
Then, if you did wire replacement, parts moving: make sure the wiring is still correct.
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.
