In terms of safety, you've got it. I would also measure ALL the resistors, as they are carbon comp, which often drift horribly. Replace with nice cheap, stable, low noise metal film.

There's no reason to replace tubes without testing them. Tubes go bad with use, not age. We often test 60 - 80 year old tubes that are fine.
