EAR 834 owners-help with a few basics

Just recieved an 834 in the mail.Unfortunately came without box and manual.Just wondering about the basics.1) See a list for 8 EL34 tubes but no driver tubes.Are these it? 2)Wondering how to get tube cage off in case of replacement.
Does the amp need to be biased or is it auto biasing 3)see a phono section listed as opposed to simply an Aux input for table.These guys (Tim P. actually) are well known for their phono pre's.Is one built in?.I got a very good deal on the piece and it seems to have arrived intact.Just wondering what I've got.
Thanks for any and all help

Feel like a dope putting up Q's in main post.After looking at ear-yoshino site I know now that I couldn't see them but of course tucked away in that cage are driver tubes 2 ECC83's and the harder to find EEC85.Plus they state 6 line inputs so I need an external step up.But anybody who knows how to get cage off and whether it is self biasing this would be of great help.If anybody can photo copy a manual I'd be mighty appreciative and paypal/send a check to cover costs.
Thanks
