Hi Jola,
Not a bad deal for the phonograph.

Have a look here regarding the capacitor issue:

Your tubes might have been taken out from bad caps. How do you know they are "blown"?
If you have basic soldering skills and can read a diagram a little, you should be able to install them yourself with no problem.



Let us know how you come along.
Gary.
