If you replace those two electrolytics in the voltage doubler circuit you may well get the power supply operating. Either one or both could be dried out to the point that they are no longer capable of doing their job.
You will get the practice in capacitor replacement, as you have many more to go after those 2. But at least getting those done should get you back to a higher voltage level. If a fuseable resistor or sandbrick resistor opens it's almost always all or nothing--to wit you wouldn't likely be seeing the paltry 30 volts you are seeing.
If you have to burn any gasoline running to the radio shop for capacitors you might as well shotgun the entire power supply and replace all the electrolytics; the odds are that they are all not long for this world if not already expired.
