While I've been waiting for some parts to arrive, I noticed some of the caps in the below picture have cracked outers, if you look closely at the nearest red one you can see it. So for the amp at least, I am thinking to replace pretty much the lot.
So for the red caps (3X) can I use any Film type to replace these? <edit> my research tells me these are Poly 22nf @250V, I don't know whether that is a DC or an AC rating. Does this Panasonic look like it should be OK?
And also for the Grey caps (left most), similar? I am also unsure what is C206 (purple) and the yellow one (C203). Manual specifies values but not makeup.
Odd thing about the red (yellow and black striped) caps is the service manual shows 2 each side, I have 3. Its a bit confusing.
Thanks!
All components in the photo look fine as-is.
C206 is a ceramic capacitor - the worlds most reliable component. It'll be fine.The 22nf polyester caps with the cracked ends are Mullard "tropical fish". They are often found cracked at the ends like yours, but will be absolutely fine.The grey one is also a polyester type. It will also be fine.

Ok, thanks a lot for that information. In that case, I will save my money and spend it elsewhere.
Cheers!
