Amplifier Pioneer SA-8800 recap fix rebuild

https://ibb.co/7vjhgrx

My amplifier Pioneer SA-8800 needs to be recapped and I've saw on eBay the following auctions:

1) https://www.ebay.com/itm/313731146670

2) https://www.ebay.com/itm/164155404649

What do you think? which is better? or ... do you know a better option/place?

Seller has good feedback, and lots of it. The first seller seems to have some complaints about the instructions included or not included. Regardless, I would download the maintenance manual (available online) as more info to compare is usually a good thing. DeKay
