Recapping the 2220B

So, some of you heard of me picking up a Marantz 2220B receiver. Not a big deal really (I've had much better) but I love the way it sounds.
I want to make it last awhile as a vintage-bedroom rig. Anyway, while I'm looking for a service manual...can someone suggest budget-friendly electrolytic caps? I want to recap it and so far the guys on Audiokarma say only a dozen or so electrolytics need to be replaced on the P700 board (some recommend the P800 power supply board as well).
Also read that I shouldn't change out the film caps for 2 reasons; 1. they'll alter the way it sounds (no more warm Marantz sound possibly) and 2. the originals were of great quality. I know caps can change the characteristics of how something would sound but was wondering if I should replace them or not in my receiver.
Any and all advice appreciated.
