Replacing power supply capacitors
My multi chanel power amplifier (Carver 705X) has two big aluminum electrolytic capacitors (Phillips) 25,000 uF/ 75v each. Though they still work flawlessly, the power amplifier has been put into service for more than 12 years, so I am planing to replace the old capacitors by a new pair. Please kindly advise:

Replacing Capacitors on a guitar amplifier power board
I opened it up, and found that one of the capacitors on the power board had completely fallen off the board. The positive pole wire was broken off to about 1/32 of an inch long, and the negative wire had apparently come unsoldered from the board. These are Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, 6800uf, 63V. I also noticed that on the other side of

Strategies to Repair or Replace Old Electrolytic
Using a high-voltage external power supply, each capacitor is slowly brought up to working voltage by slowly raising the line voltage to the power supply. This can also be done with a variable DC supply with a range from about 50V to 500V,

Which type of capacitors to use in which setting?
There are properties that are different for each capacitor type, so in short : no, you can''t replace any capacitor with other kind ( if size and budget weren''t a problem). You probably won''t find an electrolytic when high precision is needed or very high freqs are involved. For example, a switching mode power supply needs special electrolytics able to work on those

How to determine the signal path?
Also two capacitors like this on the power amp board. I''m assuming they are on the signal path. Most of the "bypass" (lower microfarad and voltage) are orange CE (MR?) and bipolar. Edit 2: I''ll tell you what, I''m getting mad overthinking it, let''s say I''ll use: KG for the 4 filter caps and Panasonic for the rest of the power supply board.

Electrolytic filter caps in the power supply should be replace after a couple of decades.

How do you replace a capacitor?
Hot melt glue the new capacitor to the top of the board, the jumpers should remain twisted. Tip1: If a capacitor has long enough leads exposed on the front side of the board, you can cut the capacitor off leaving the old leads and solder the new capacitor to the old leads. This method is even faster. See the last picture for an example.
How to replace electrolytic capacitor?
Tip1: If a capacitor has long enough leads exposed on the front side of the board, you can cut the capacitor off leaving the old leads and solder the new capacitor to the old leads. This method is even faster. See the last picture for an example. Tip 2: You should replace all the electrolytic capacitors, not just the visibly bad ones.
How do you put a capacitor on a circuit board?
For larger capacitors use thicker wire (lower gauge) or put multiple cat 5 strands in parallel to each lead. Find and mark all the capacitor leads on the back side of the circuit with + and -. Make jumpers that will go from the back side of the board to the front of the board where the new capacitor will be placed.
How do you replace capacitor jumpers?
Keep the jumpers short as possible and twisted together, it will reduce interference. Strip the ends of the jumpers, solder them to the old capacitor leads and to the new capacitor leads. Hot melt glue the new capacitor to the top of the board, the jumpers should remain twisted.
Can you put capacitors in parallel?
The biggest risk to putting them in parallel is that the bad cap may leak and corrode the circuit, but because most of the current will go through the new cap the old cap should deteriorate slowly. In the first picture the new capacitors are laying on their side, hot melt glued to the front of the board.
