Since that chassis uses a solid-state rectifier pair (selenium, I think), it would be wise to make sure all the new electrolytics are "formed", before you install them. Simply put, their electro-chemical properties are optimized for proper function. Even "new" caps can blow chunks if slammed with full working voltage. It's not hard to do, and you need more patience than anything else, but it's worth the trouble.There is an excellent thread somewhere in here on the process.
