To avoid making a mistake recapping, I do one at a time. Before I clip the old one out, I put a clip lead to the points where the cap was attached. That way I can't make a mistake.

I've got to agree with the one at a time approach Steve mentioned. Replace em' one at a time and fire the set up after each replacement to make sure you're not moving backwards. The first set I restored I didn't go this route and simply replaced every one of the paper, electrolytic, and wax caps all at once and had a hell of a time trying to figure out where I went wrong.
Oh and congratulations on the set, finding minty pieces "in the wild" is always fun.
