Alchemizes cash to tubes

So I'm thinking my best plan of attack is to use my multimeter to start testing individual resistors and capacitors. It'll take some time, but hopefully that'll give me a better picture of what failed.

I know my main electrolytic is fine (I actually swapped in a spare to be safe) so it's a matter of checking the standard caps and resistors.

A quick question, since I haven't gone this in depth before: Do I need to desolder one lead of each cap and resistor before I check it, or can I just turn the power off and start running tests?
