Amplifier capacitors help

The power supply capacitors in my Gemstone Blue Diamond amplifier have started leaking. I would like to buy new capacitors to replace the bad ones but I couldn't find any of the same size on the Internet. I don't know who the manufacturer is, maybe someone here has an idea? I've included pics below:

They don't have to be the exact size I think. But they need to be spec'd properly, such as the voltage spec. Is gemstone not still in existance to get the specs on?

The capacity in uF has a tolerance of -10% & +75%, voltage should be equal or higher...

Ideally they should be the same size - especially the diameter and the distance between the screws on the bottom so that they fit into the original board - and specs. Hard to find them... I'm not sure that the Cornell Dubilier in the link above would work but thanks M Code.

Gemstone hasn't replied yet, probably never will. I did contact Sim Audio, they made the amp for Gemstone, but they were not willing to help at all...

Still looking, wonder if anyone knows what the 'A' on the capacitor stands for i.e what company that might be?
