Even though the cans don't get hot, I was told I should replace them anyways.. I plan on restuffing the cans.. Each of the cans show 4 different values so I figured that it's basically four caps per can on the C1 and C2.. I Just found it difficult to find the exact values and wasn't sure if I was able to go slightly up or down on the values.. I know about the neg leads going to the ground and all that, but that's makes since about the positive leads.. I see what you are saying so I can replace a 50uf with a more common 47uf and a 20 with a 22, etc.. seeing how they are very close.. And can find a Nichicon PW series (Brown ones) that are more better I heard.. Let me see what I can find.. So far I found all of the film orange drop caps for the horz / vert osc board..

Update:

I found all.. Greatly appreciated Tom.. What is the name of the rubber hosing that will go around the cap leads for restuffing the cans? I'll need to get a roll of that too..
