If you have no experience with high voltage, take this to a technician. This will be easy to diagnose and either cheap or expensive (no in-between) to repair.It could be something as simple as a loose tube socket, which takes about three seconds to fix (just slightly tighten the thing sthat hold the tube pins (whatever you call them). It could also be a cold solder joint (5 minutes) or it could be a bad power transformer (expensive).
It is unlikely that two tubes in a row had open heaters.
Good luck!
