Ok, the new caps have arrived, so I started with the electrolytics. Took about 4 hours, but got all 12 twistlock sections replaced, along with the one axial lead lytic under the chassis. Fairly standard installation in the bases of the original twistlocks. Used Rubycon 105C rated caps. 2 of the 5 cardboard insulator sleeves crumbled during removal, but I have a bunch of old caps in the junkbox to salvage from.

Am going to call it a day at this point. Will try running the B+ up again tomorrow, and see if I have any signs of life before tackling all of the paper caps under the chassis.
