Anyone have a pic to show me where to replace HEXFREDS in a Cary CAD-120S?


I know there are supposed to be 6, which I have, but I only have a novice experience with circuitry. I don't want to risk the shipment there and back (or the $$$), so I want to do this upgrade myself. 

Can anyone PLEASE show me pics, or give me specific instructions on WHERE these new HEXFREDS go and what they replace? 

Thank you so much! 

Anyone who has had it done to theirs, and would like to share pics of the "undercarriage", would be appreciated as well...

"Two caps only."(per)   I'd want to keep the capacitance within 20%(and I always prefer the more side).   I've already put over $800 worth of Duelund coupling caps in the pair, not to mention a few other little expenditures.   This will take some thought(damn it)!
You answered while I was editing my post. Figured the TCs were the ones referenced. I was wondering how you accommodated them(nice work).
grannyring- Where’s a good place to find 1200uF/450VAC(or thereabouts) film capacitors? Seems they would have to be huge and very expensive.  ie: Eight Clarity TCs in 600uF/450V caps would take up over 67 square inches of landscape.  I do love the idea though!
Follow your hot and neutral power cord leads(within the chassis) and among first connections, you’ll find three diodes, connected in series to each AC lead. Three will be facing cathode to AC supply lead and three: anode to AC lead. Mine had a single piece of shrink tubing, on each set of three and were strung between two terminal trips. If you know the cathode end of a rectifier from the anode end and are competent with a soldering iron. It’s a very easy process, to replace these with HEXFREDs. I mounted mine(in my Cary SLM-100s) on small blocks of Corian. If you feel competent and interested, I can email a couple pics of my install. Cary also offers the upgrade service, if not.
