Hi Kelly and Welcome!
What you are looking for to replace the two filter caps are: for #64 it's a dual job original value is 10 uf and a 8uf. Would replace with two 10uf @ 450v. #66 is an 18uf original replace with a 22uf 450V. There is also #26 a 16 uf replace with a 22uf @450v
A lot of these caps aren't standard sizes anymore so the values I've given you are standard size now. Service info can be found here:http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/250/M0013250.htm From the service info it looks like it ought to be a good playing set after servicing.
Good luck w/it
Terry
