Paging Michael Samra - re. McIntosh MX110 capacitors

Posted by Paul Kehayas on January 3, 2017 at 08:41:59:
The other thread got a bit unruly and I really need some help with this. Would like to get advice as to what I need to do here with the MX110 referenced in the other thread?
To recap -

C115 is original.
C116 was replaced with a 40/40/40/40uf 350V Mallory by the recent tech last month. It says it should be 50/50/50/50 200V. Is this wrong what he did?
C117 had the 1000uf half fail and was replaced by a cap underneath for that section. This probably needs replacing.

What kind of caps do I need for each and you did mention replacing diodes. What ones and where do they go?

Thank you for your help!
