Probably best to look inside & take inventory of the needed caps yourself, or reference the service manual schematic and shop for the parts. Unless a BOM is very recent and for the exact unit you have, (lots of models had updates that can differ from the service manual or another persons unit) theres a chance it could have different parts or out of stock parts depending on where you are located or company you buy from.
I just finished a recap of a au719 and considered taking the easy way out with a BOM or buying a kit off ebay, found real quick that the kits are very overpriced &/or included parts I didnt want or need, I even tried to get one seller to make a kit of just the electrolytic caps needed an the price was still 3-5x what the parts cost to buy myself. A BOM offered here cost as much as the caps I bought and had many changes to values & types of caps that I did not want for this basic recap of a good working unit.
If you can find a free & current BOM for your unit that would be great, but with a little effort to make a list of what caps you need you will save yourself a lot of money and possibility of not getting all the right caps or finding the brand/type you prefer. I went with the suggested types of nichicon, mostly KL & PW and bought them all at digikey who had the best complete source of caps & very easy to search for once you get used to their search application.

Sorry wasnt sure what your plans were for the recap, my suggestion was based on the original design. If you are looking for a BOM based on mods & upgrades to original parts then definitely seek that out, I dont have anything against making those changes and a BOM from an experienced tech is well worth the cost, but for a basic recap sticking with the original design its usually best to make a list of the parts yourself.
