MAC 1700 Can Replacement

[RobertInc]

Hey all, I'm really new to recapping and I found this awesome resource for a MAC 1700. QQ for the experts on here. The doc recommended a can that's no longer made, Panasonic EEG-A2AA402FCE. Here's the digikey listing https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=P10085-ND. My question is, is this an acceptable replacement? Digi-key 338-1264-ND https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=500C402T100BA2B . I'm not totally sure and need advice before I tackle this project!

Hello Robertinc

1) did you tryed to see if original replacement is available at factory before to buy non adapted component ?
2) 4000µF/50V is not a complicate value
3) do you have the right service manual for YOUR unit with the right serial number ?
4) is your unit working before to touch anything inside ?

Hey Clinic-audio, thanks for all the great help!

1. Yes, I looked for GE 066-112 cans first and I have no luck
2. 4000µF/50V is what's listed in my manual, are you saying the part I linked to is not a match? I wasn't sure and thought best to ask here.
3. I have all the original paperwork with the schematics. I assume it matches the serial number, but I'm not 100%. The unit is 29J50, I believe it's a very early model.
4. Yes, the unit works. I've cleaned it with a can of CRC QD and then hit all the pots with Deoxit5. I worked the front switches pretty good and everything seems to work well. I didn't keep the unit on for more than a few minutes. I wanted to get all new caps in there. Any advice here? I was using the above resource, which has a list of caps to order in an excel sheet. I was just going on that. Thanks so much for your help with this! I

@clinic-audio I saw another post where a member used CGS482U075V3C. Is that a better match?
