If you have zero electronics experience, that kind of TV is not a good learning project.

You could contact an area radio/TV collector club and ask for a repairman recommendation. Here's a list of clubs in the USA:

If you want to tackle it yourself, I recommend getting a cheap 5-tube radio from a flea market or craigslist.org to practice on.

This article has basic information about replacing capacitors:

Another article that may help:

If the simple radio works after recapping, that would give you an idea whether you want to dive into a television.
