They are 10,000uF 50V 50mm dia. 80mm height? People use 10,000-12,000uF 63V.

Computer grade electrolytics are very expensive. Apex Jr. store (DIYAudio) has surplus computer grade electrolytics, store is in Torrace CA USA.
Snap-ins are much lower cost, but need a PC board to mount to, unless you glue them down. Pic of one kit for the Quad 405, but not sure if still available.

They make a sonic difference so resist temptation and don't cheap out.

Ripple current is at audio frequencies, so you need a 20kHz ESR spec that is decent, not just a mains freq. spec.

I have bought from this eBay seller many times and he is a legit seller.
Just because he sells on eBay does not mean these are fakes.

Farnell UK, or Mouser of Digikey if you wish to get other parts, they offer 60$ AU free postage. Farnell is like Element14 australia we dont have much options

I am not that informed
how about United Chem Com SMH or KHM capacitors or Cornell Dubilier 380LX, which are nice and cheap at Mouser atm
