The values don't need to be too exact, those old caps were probably 20 percent tolerance at best. Just don't go lower on the voltage rating. The ceramic caps should be fine. tubes lighting means the primary is OK, and the 6 v. winding is good, but doesn't mean the transformer is good, you should check the high voltage winding to be sure. If the cap is shorted that would be across the HV winding, which is made with fairly fine wire. On most players the motor is powered directly by 120V, not through the transformer.

Even if that power supply capacitor had been working fine, you would still want to replace it, they fail over time, and its way past its lifespan, and could have started smoking at any time.

I was planning on trying to get those power supply caps replaced. As for the "high voltage" winding, how would I test it to see if Its still good?
