    HP oscilloscope and capacitors issue

    Hi,
    I have an HP T912 oscilloscope, the unit has not been never used but it has been for many years on the shelf. I made a mistake (I think) because I tried to turn it on right away without first opening the case to check for issues to components.
    Everything seemed to work well but after a few seconds the system goes off.
    I opened the box and saw that the electrolytic capacitors are damaged.
    my question is:
    I can change the capacitors with others with the same voltage but higher capacity, pulled from a modern desktop trasformer ?
    thank you

    how much higher?

    btw, change that black one - in my experience high voltage low-uf caps fail more often than low voltage high-uf types.
