Samlex heavy-Duty bench supply filter question - radiorich - 09-26-2024

Hello Everyone,
I have one of my Heavy-duty bench powersuplies made by Samlex it's 13.8 volt dc 20-25 amp supply.
What I would like to do is replace it's main filter electrolytic capacitors which it uses six 4700ufd capacitors to add up to 28,000ufd .
they used a no-named brand and I was wondering about getting some higher value capacitors to replace those six .
or should just stick with the original design ?
I could even use non- electrolytic film capacitors too !

Here are a couple photos of this monster        


Sincerely Richard
P.S. the other thing I thought would be handy is volt and amp meter to add to it !
this unit really used seven 4700ufd capacitors
