Here in Silicon Valley, it would be a lot less. 4700uF/35V and 5600uF/42V are both available at retail for under US$1 each.
The diagnosis is probably correct, and the OP is committed to replacing the original caps, but I do not remember seeing a claim that this actually fixed the problem. At this price and given the concern over the long term reliability of the junque-box parts, I would tack-solder these caps to verify that this does indeed fix the problem, but I would use the new parts for the "permanent" repair. Using reformed parts would be OK if the faulty ones were unobtanium.
