Careful guys. There is more to this.

For proper performance and decent life you need "photoflash" capacitors 

specifically designed for fast high current discharge.

They tend to be more difficult to find.

   yeah . . . but I've had pretty good luck with plain-vanilla

   replacements. The cost is sure right and if you're willing to

   replace the first set of bad ones at all, then the idea of putting

   a new set in every couple of years is probably not repulsive

   either. I never got a report back from the owners that I serviced

   with non-specialty caps many moons ago. I presume they offered

   satisfactory service for awhile. It would be interesting to

   see how long the PV caps last got someone who hangs out

   here on the list.
