When rebuilding boatanchor electrolytics, it makes sense to use the
most reliable, high-temperature capacitors available.
At this point (2014), the best commonly available (in the US)
high-voltage aluminum electrolytic caps in these respects seem to be
the United Chemi-Con "KJX" series.
For low-voltage applications (<= 50v), it's the United Chemi-Con "EKZM" series.
Mouser has both, as most of the major parts distributors probably also do.
Other manufacturers have similar lines, and there is always some
back-and-forth as they improve their products, but UCC seems to have
the lead right now.
Best regards,
Charles
