It uses a mix of Daewoo RSS/RS , Chemicon SMG/SME and Samsung GL/GH capacitors. So I searched for the capacitor datasheets that I could find (chemicon SME / SMG and Daewoo RSS series) and it seems that all are general purpose 2000hrs/85degrees ones.
I can order Nichicon PX, CS and VZ (for the smaller uf ones) caps, do you think they will be a good replacement for the original general purpose ones?
I would #1 upgrade to 105˚C caps as they last longer at any given operating temp and #2 upgrade to entry level low ESR caps such as Panasonic FC, Nichicon PW or PM, Chemicon LXZ and similar as they don't usually cost more and don't hurt anything. Also any leftovers are more likely to be useful for other projects.
If you show me where you shop I can poke around and make specific suggestions. (Replies will be slow and spotty today. Wife unexpectedly got the day off.)
You did a good job of cleaning that up. Looked awful in your before photo.
