Dear reader
I am performing a repair on a Sony ICF-SW55, which includes recapping (some) of the SMD capacitors on the mainboard. I am looking for verification of their values. At the moment, I'm 95% sure I've got the right values, but it is hard to find some official, credible or multiple independant sources on this.
At the moment, I have selected replacements based on the following list of values:
3 x 470uF 10VDC
3 x 4.7uF 35VDC
4 x 47uF 50VDC
8 x 22uF 6.3 VDC
1 x 220uF 6.3VDC
5 x 100uF 6.3VDC
Which is sourced from: https://sparedparts.com/products/68600276
These values seem to be correct when looking at the amount present of each value and guessing their related dimensions (lowest capacity values and voltage are the smallest, as well as the highest being the largest).
The printed text on the capacitor heads is as follows, in the same order:
3x -printed on cap itself without code, no mystery there-
3x 4.7 35v 18d
4x j2 47 6v
8x 22 6v 18a
1x j4 220 4v
5x 1y 100 6.3
Some values correspond to the printed text, some do not or are counter-intuitive.
A second source sort of verifies 4/6 of all different types, but doesn't show all. Furthermore, it is just text on an image, which could have been interpreted incorrectly by the primary author.

A third used source is a schematic of all components but that did not help that much as it also included other values, other than the ones in need of replacement, and isn't really clear on which is which (no Cxxx placement references on the PCB).
Sony service isn't much help either in this case.
Trying to identify based on printed values didn't work out for me.
Yes, I'm aware recapping kits exist. However, not many ELC SMD are available, and I'm not planning recapping with tantalums. Furthermore, given the current state of capacitor legitemacy (via eBay), I'd rather source my own via reputable sources. Plus, this give me the opportunity to place some better ones (e.g., 50VDC instead of 35VDC) and have some spares.
I have selected the following replacements, in the same order as listed above, with "low ESR" ratings where possible (TME because it's the only one with all in stock and delivers to individuals):

In closing, I'd like to ask if anyone can verify the list of values as posted in the beginning of this thread.
Thank you in advance.
