Fit the same size and voltage rating. You can go up on the voltage rating if you cant find the same. Dont fall for the internet hype about fitting bigger.

Ye but the SSL manual, as I read it says 2 different vaules 1000 000 uf or 100 000 uf ? Look at the pic, for me its more than one way or the other, voltage is less problem

1000,000uF is One Farad!
I think it is a misprint and s mre likely to be 100,000uF.

It should be written on the cap that is in there.

The CF661E schematic specifies :-

100,000uF 40v (for the +20V rail)
100,000uF 40v (for the -20V rail)
22,000uF 25V (for the +7V rail - logic)
1,500uF 100V (for the +48V rail - phantom)
220uF 450V (for the +250V rail - bargraphs)

I putted these in, KEMET stunning 37 000 hours lifetime at 85 degree, they were on sale for just above 30 euros each in Swedish elfa.se, so I think I go for 2 more for the other PSU :D Rectifier bridge is alot cooler too

lovely caps and you could have been having leakage from one of them causing the rectifier to run hotter.

But the failing 2N5886's are after the cap and their failure is probably not connected to a leaky cap.

The supplies need to be calibrated under load in the working conditions that they will be experiencing in the real world. One thing you can do to make this easier is add test points to the changeover unit. (to me this should have been done at the factory)

A lead from each of the inputs to the changeover diodes gives a convenient monitoring point under load.  To set them up measure each supply and get them close, final trim can be measuring from one test point to the other. What you want is both of them at the same voltage, exact level is unimportant, and measuring the difference gives the best resolution. You can monitor this over time and see if the regulation is holding or drifting, which is what I suspect. If the difference voltage goes over about 0.7 volts then the current sharing starts to shift from both to one. Hence your problem.

Good luck.
