I wouldn't apply power again until recap has been completed. A quick check of the HV windings with the rectifier removed would be OK. (Should be just about same AC voltage on each plate pin to center tap.) Also, with power disconnected winding(s) for output transformer can be checked for continuity. At least then you know pretty much status of iron.
This is going to be a wonderful set!
