sorry, i think thats what i meant a couple posts ago
"well, i was wriggling the rca leads and the voltages changed. i swapped them with a new set and the voltages were the same. I rechecked the voltages at the speaker terminals whilst bypassing the two caps and found that c10 was the same as c9 both 2.5.

OK. If you have to desolder the RCA board to replace the cap, order the ChipQuik and be sure to get the flux that comes with it.

It's available in 5ft lengths here but only in 10ft there. Used properly, this is enough to last many years... properly used.
Do you have a good desoldering pump like the DS017?

If you decided against buying the tutorial, I'll post some of the instructions here. There is a learning curve to using it.
1. Do you have a good desoldering pump like the DS017?
2. What about that cap is unavailable?
3. Is this your amplifier?
4. Do you intend to sell it?

I haven’t decided against the tutorial it is on my very long list of to-do’s this week
It’s my amp and I am keeping it
I do have a good desoldering pump
The cap we have determined is faulty doesn’t seem to be available as I have tried to find the same one and haven’t had much luck

You don't typically find the same exact capacitor. You look for the correct value in the same or greater voltage rating that will fit in the allocated space. You could even use a leaded capacitor (leaving leads ~1/4" long) if you fix it down to the board with a suitable adhesive (not super glue).
