Can't Find SA8500II Recap List Anywhere

I'm about to get started on a very clean SA-8500II that I just bought. First off, I wanted to ask if the list posted by MTF on 1-16-13 in this thread is the correct one to use. I also would like to know which of the listed semiconductor replacements are important. I will be changing all of the capacitors, but would prefer to only change the semiconductors that are running on the edge of their limits, or are prone to failure, including noise.

Thanks,
Paul

I'm looking for replacements for the 4 Elna 10000uF/50V caps in my SA-8500Mk2. Would the Nichicon LKG series 10000uF/63V caps be good replacements?

Thanks

Was there ever a verdict on this? I am looking to do likewise or should the original large caps be left in? Curious that they were not included on the recap list????
At $25 CDN apiece they ain't cheap are they if the Nichis above are what is recommended? Any cheaper ones just as good that will do the trick?
