Recapping apple ii monitor model A2M2010P

Posted by: falen5 on 2016-12-16 13:24:16 Hellp people. been away from old computers for a while but recently picked up an apple iie with the above monitor from an old friend Powered it up after an inspection and boom - apple iie power supply lots of smoke. Opened it up and found 1 cap in bits and another cracked replaced them with help of this utube video   got it working - monitor working - all good. but after 10-15 minutes monitor display starts jumping, and stretching - figured it needs recap as well opened it up and found same caps on a small circuit with the fuse (fuse board i guess) these are the same RIFA caps that went boom on the apple psu. there are 4 of them the big one is .47uf  250 volt X......... i can find replacement for that ok  (it looks ok, no cracks like the other 3 but seems i have it apart ill replace it !!) but the other 3...2 of them have a Y on them  im not 100% sure what im supposed to replace them with will these do http://www.ebay.ie/itm/20Pcs-472m-4700PF-X1Y2-Ceramic-Disk-Safety-Capacitors-250VAC-Y-Caoacitor-/181847140425?hash=item2a56ef2849:g:~74AAOxyj4hTGVc4 the 3 small caps are all cracked and i wont power this thing back up until i replace them  cause they will probally explode as well ive looked at all the caps on the main board , cant see any bulging or signs of leakage. Is it likely that the 4 RIFA caps on the fuse board are the problem or is it best to just replace all the caps on the main board as well cheers people
