Sansui 9090 Recap Inventory

I've put together lists of what I think should be recapped in my 9090.

I used xoaphexox's signal path list (thanks) from prior searching. The rest of my list come from the Power, Driver and Protector boards for any electolytics. I've come up with a total of 46 caps (20 in the signal path and 26 elsewhere).

This 9090 is driving my main listening system and I want to get her in tip top shape for the years to come.

I would ask the experts out there for any advice regarding additions/deletions to my lists?

Thanks

I agree with what everyone said, and you may want to replace the stock trim pots with new Bourns 25-turn pots if you want to have an easy time dialing in offset and bias afterwards.

One last move you may want to do is place a poly film bypass cap across the terminals of the new ripple filter capacitors. Use a value about 1/10th of what the new caps will be.

I used 10,000uF bypassed with Panasonic ECQ-P(Z) 1uF but that's just me, I think the stock caps are 6,800uF.

Some of these are surely non-polar or bi-polar.
 
I assumed all the electrolytics were polarized. I guess I'll find out as I take them out. I was going to order all from Digikey but I might have to have a second order to match what comes off the boards.

I appreciate all the good advice from the fellowship.

Thanks
