An ESR meter would help with checking those can cap's...you could of course use an ohmmeter to check for dead shorts like you described...Measure across the can itself or the neg/common lead which are all at the same potential, and each section of the cap *with the set turned off*
on a side note, I always thought it was odd that the tube compliment inside most hybrid SS sets emphasized 'turning power off before removing transistors' ...i mean it isn't such a great idea to pull tubes while it's running either,,,not to mention that they'd be hot as heck.
