I was able to get a Yamaha B-2x, I am planing for a full recap, my tech told me that he does not have the time to chase parts.
So I am going to find all the part and he is going to swap it.
I was able to find a pdf file with all the parts, however the list is from 2015.
Can you guys help find better caps for the project ?
The 4 100,000uf 6.3v are hard to find, the diameter of 2.0 inches, a seated height of 1.975 inches, and 3 lug design (1 dummy for additional mechanical attachment strength) with a lead spacing of 1 inch.
Since the amp runs hot, I was thinking using 125C caps

thanks for your help

I would go with the 2015 list, since there will be few to no options for some of those capacitors.
However, if it is working normally, most would not refresh this so soon, unless the duty cycle is high.

That's a special memory "ultra" capacitor. More F and/or more V is ok.
See if this one fits.

16V, even 25V will work.
But check them first, they may be within spec.
Recapping is over rated, and Yamaha sets are ....you fix one issue, and something else gets spoiled, like a highly tuned car.
Denon and Onkyo are like that also.
If the performance is all right, leave it alone, enjoy the music.
If it runs hot, put ball bearing type AC fans, and see if you are exceeding 80% power continuously.
If you need more power, get a more powerful amp.
Be aware that you can go deaf if you listen to music very loud for a long time.
