Hi All,
I've now gutted and re-stuffed the electrolytics from the TV PSU and the radio chassis.
I used 10uF film capacitors to replace the original 8uF sections in the TV PSU. I would not normally use these as they are much more expensive than electrolytics, but I managed to obtain quite a number of them from old high quality fluorescent lighting balasts that were being thown out at work.

The second photo shows the capacitors glued back together with epoxy resin and temporarily held together with tape whilst the glue sets.

Cheers
Andy
