Having done dozens of YBA pieces, I know you will not find exact replacement parts for them. However despite the company line, most of the parts were just relabeled standard parts. The caps were ERO Reoderstien. I've found them to be okay, but can be improved upon. The biggest problem is the footprint of the connections on the caps. The originals are rather non-standard, but new ones can be made to fit.
Only the transformers would be a problem, but may still be available from the distributor. I have never seen one fail though.
With all that said, YBA are very reliable and should last many more years.
