It's definitely a good idea to get your feet wet first by doing capacitor replacement on a All American 5 tube radio. If you make a mistake it's much less difficult to find it in a radio.
If you can I'd recommend powering it up on a dim bulb tester or preferably slowly on a variac the first time. If it has not been turned on in over 6 months there is a good chance the electrolytics need to reform which will only happen with a slow controlled power up.
