Help: Replacement Caps Advise

I need to replace 20 (350V 100uf) caps in a pair of 6550 push-pull amps. 20 all up so the replacement needs to be somewhat sensibly priced. Any pointer in the right direction would be great.

Don't scrimp on the quality of the caps you use as the power supply is the heart of the amplifier. Nichicon caps work well.

Best of luck Peter
