You probably do NOT need to replace the big 150uF/450V capacitor. It's
not the high voltage low ripple current capacitors that fail. It's the
low voltage, but high ripple current filter caps that get hot and blow
up.

Tolerable. It's not a low ESR type, but it's low enough to work.

It's low-ESR (although the data sheet doesn't clearly show this) so it
will work.

Also low-ESR and good quality cap. No problems.

Looks generally ok.

I'll leave it to you to determine if the case sizes and lead spacing
are the same as the originals. Neither is particularly critical as
there is usually plenty of room. One suggestion is to use the next
higher voltage rating capacitor. The 50v cap will probably remain
50v, but the 25v caps should be replaced with 35v caps. They last
longer, have a lower ESR, and aren't that much larger.

Thanks for reviewing & the feedback. I'm glad I don't need to change
the large cap.

I'm looking for a cap w/ a lower ESR for the C107 cap (47uF, 50V). I
don't see 'ESR' in the data sheet. What do I look for? Would this
one be better:
http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Panasonic/EEU-EB1H470S/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtZ1n0r9vR22ZOBEZetCii%252b7xHyu04R92c%3d
?

Most of these caps were near, if not at, the physical size limit. All
of the 25V caps have <= 2mm of space to a neighboring component, and
in 2 cases, it's another cap (so only one could be bigger). So there
isn't much room for these (one will actually be a very tight fit as
is).

If the ESR isn't specified, then look for loss tangent or dissipation
factor (tan sigma). Dissipation factor does NOT directly translate to
ESR, but it's proportional when comparing caps at the same frequency.
The lower number is better.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation_factor>
ESR = DF / (Pi * freq * C)
You can calculate ESR, but there's a problem. The dissipation of the
dielectric varies with frequency where the ESR number specified is
only valid at the test frequency. When DF or loss tangents are
specified, it's sometimes at 120Hz, where the capacitor is intended
for a linear type AC power supply filter. When ESR is specified, it's
usually at 100KHz which implies that it's for a switching power
supply. The Panasonic EEU-FC series you included specifies ESR as
impedance at 100KHz. For comparison, a 47uF/50v Panasonic EEU-FC
series cap as below shows 0.6 ohms max ESR.

Well, for 47uf/50v the Panasonic EEU shows 0.15 DF.
The previous Chemicon KMQ series cap shows 0.12 DF.
I would call the Chemicon capacitor slightly better.

Unfortunately, the sanity check doesn't quite work. The ESR at 100KHz
grinds out to:
ESR = DF / (2Pi * freq * C)
ESR = 0.15 / (6.28 * 0.1*10^6 * 47*10^-6)
ESR = 0.15 / 29.8 = 0.0005
which is about 1000 times too small to be for real. When my brain
recovers from this cold or flu, I'll try to figure out what I've done
wrong. (I hate it when that happens).

Looking at the photos of the board, some of the caps look fairly
tight. I guess you should probably leave it at 25V.

Thanks for all the info.

Which tool(s) should I consider getting to help w/ the desoldering?
I'm guessing there's something to help get the solder out of the PCB
hole. Braided copper? Solder sucker?

ESR Equivalent Series Resistance
http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/Capacitors_and_ESR
ESR is usually NOT 'important' on new capacitors.
One 'common' failure mode for electrolytic capacitors in an increase in
ESR, especially in caps that have defective designs.
