Need some replacement reservoir caps for a power amp. Nothing special -
just 10,000uF at 63v. RS have them from about 4 quid to about 50.

Old amp so not PCB mounted - just wires to them and plenty space so not
restricted to an identical part - which isn't made now anyway.

Best make to go for? Is a 50 quid one really worth it?

SMPSUS run reservoir caps hard, ESR, temp rating & life expectancy matter. But for a 50Hz psu as yours surely is, it doesn't matter at all.
