Advent 25th anniversary crossover recap?

Can someone recommend good replacement caps for these? They have a 3 position switch. I tried a search, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of info about these. They're suppose to be like the 5002/5012, but they're not even close. The more complicated crossover is a 5002 with a 2 position switch.

You shouldn't need to change the values, just get some film caps to replace the electrolytics, or new 'lytics if you're afraid the films my change the sound signature. You can get either type from Parts Express or Madisound. The coils and resistors are probably fine. If you want to be more precise you can get yourself a digital meter on fleebay to measure inductance and capacitance for about 30 bucks to see what's what.
 
I've seen Dayton audio grade film caps recommended for Advents, but with 250v ratings, and even some with 400v. I take it, higher voltage is better?
 
The higher voltage doesn't make the cap better. Anything of the proper value (uFd-wise) above 100V should be more than adequate.
