Harman Kardon 330B, cleaned up but now need new bulbs?

I've had a Harman Kardon 330B in a backup system for a while and it has worked well, but sounded a bit scratchy with dirty pots and so I figured last night I'd open it up and get to work with some cleanup. Anyway, after cleaning and letting it dry overnight, I hooked her up this morning and the sound is much better and the scratchiness is completely gone. So for that, I am quite pleased.

Unfortunately, now it seems the bulbs are burnt out. Not sure if I got some cleaner on them and that affected something or what, but I get the input indicator light and nothing else. Previously all the lights were working if a bit dim.

So, is this likely a bulb replacement thing or is it possible something just needs to dry out for another day or two? Should I just wait it out first or should I go ahead and open it back up and start replacing the bulbs? If so, does anyone know what kind of bulbs this thing takes or where to get them?

I'm woefully inexperienced at opening these things up (although starting to have more of an interest in the guts of this stuff lately) so any advice is appreciated and feel free to talk to me like I know nothing because I'm not too shy of that.
