While replacing some bad capacitors, I accidentally touched two of the neon lights and broke the leads. (located right under the "T60," which is actually T601). What should I replace them with?
From what I can tell, these lights are used for troubleshooting, to tell you if there is voltage going through the circuit.

They are a voltage reference, probably about 180V, used for some circuit. You need to find the same type of neon lamp (there are variations with different trigger voltages) or a suitable Zener diode. Your first stop should be getting a manual which should describe that circuit.
The manual identifies the neon lamp as type NE-23. You might find some on ebay. If not, try surplus sales at https://www.surplussales.com/Bulbs-Incan-Panel/BulbsNeon.html. Data for the lamps is attached.
