I'm doing some maintenance on my beloved 1970s Technics SL-1710. This includes recapping the main PCB, replacing the tone arm lift dampening fluid and general cleaning & lubrication. // Kindly sponsored by my favorite PCB manufacturer PCBWay! https://www.pcbway.com/

Service Manual for the 1700 and 1710:

Electrolytic Capacitor List:
470uF 50V axial
33uF 25V radial
10uF 25V radial
4.7uF 25V radial
2.2uF 50V radial
3x 1uF 50V radial (replaced with MKS caps, see below)
3x 1uF 50V radial bipolar (replaced with MKS caps, see below)
0.33uF 50V radial (replaced with MKS caps, see below)
0.22uF 50V radial (replaced with MKS caps, see below)

I used WIMA MKS2 metalized polyester 5% 63V 5mm capacitors to replace the smaller value electrolytics and the bipolar capacitors.

I replaced the large 470uF axial capacitor with a Vishay axial cap.

For the other regular electrolytics, I went with Panasonic FC series capacitors.
