Just a word of caution here but beware if buying capacitors or any electronic components off Amazon or that big auction site as they are well known for selling fakes cleverly disguised as being genuine. It’s always best to spend a bit more and purchase from one of the major suppliers such as Mouser, Digi-Key, or Newark etc. That way you know you will be getting the real McCoy and not a counterfeit dressed up to look like the original.
Also, study the data sheets for the capacitors as some of them are SMD’s (Surface Mount Devices) and can be extremely small requiring special skill and equipment to install them.
