I'd not worry about the e-caps just yet. My 70 has a low hum with the volume turned down, and that is with new caps. If a little flexing around or moving tubes doesnt bring it to life, you may have simply failed a tube. They still go bad. If you have a tube tester, test 'em. Start simple. If they all check ok and it still doesnt come to life, then make a few quick signal checks , then voltage checks to get an idea where the problem may be.
