Yamaha P2200 replace capacitors

For the two boards containing the original large-ish bright orange caps..
Can anyone tell me which capacitor type and brand sit most happily in this amp?

There are axial and radial orange ones but they are probably general purpose ecaps, many would work, match capacitance, voltage can be same or go up, sizes are generally smaller these days.
C101,106,110 you want a good quality ecap.
The filter ecaps can be low ESR types, C116,117 high ripple current types.
I had one in for service, one meter was intermittent, had to re-flow solder all the joints on the pcb to fix it.
 
Thanks RCS16, appreciated.
Yes, one of my meters may well need a reflow. Also getting a bunch of bulbs!

"C101,106,110 you want a good quality ecap."
........ e.g. Panasonic FM or FC, and Nichicon PW ?

"The filter ecaps can be low ESR types, C116,117 high ripple current types."
....e.g. Nichicon KL?

Am I correct on this?
