    Sansui 9090 recap part list

    Hi, I'm planning to completely recap my Sansui 9090 and wondering if anyone here has a list of all capacitors they used? I'm thinking of using Nichicon UFG capacitors but if you have other suggestion, please let me know. Thanks.

    Recapping AR-3a and AR-2x, What capacitors to use?
