What should I measure with the voltmeter?

At this point, I haven't found anything newly connecting, or wrong parts placement. I've ran the tests described in Riders volume 19, p.73. - It points to bad capacitors, do I start changing capacitors until I have AM reception back, or should I try to get AM back prior to making replacements, in order to be able to test any upcoming capacitor change.
