Component checking in circuit

[Crambone]

If I have 2ea identical surface mount boards and one is bad can I compare component (resister, capacitor.....) to the known good one to identify a bad part?
Example: I check C1 on good board and get 10uf and then check in bad circuit and get 10uf then I can assume that cap is good? Can I keep doing this part for part until I find one that is different and then assume that is the bad part or one of the bad parts?

I would think that taking measurements, while each unit was powered up, and comparing the voltages would give more accurate results (unless smoke has been released!).     But doing it with no power is a good start.  If you have a way to inject a signal and chase it around, that would be another approach.  Not knowing the circuit makes it difficult to know the best approach.

It’s an RCI 2995DX circuit , http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/rci/rci_2995dx/graphics/rci_2995_dx_sch.pdf
TP7 was grounded by accident with the mirror board out that normally connects TP7, 8 & 9.

Looking at the schematic, you can check for continuity (Ohms) between Q60 collector and TP7 and continuity between TP7 and C219-C220-L26 junction, and compare the ohms readings to the good board.  My first inclination is to suspect L26, but...
