Quad 303 recap

[Piccolino]

Recently I received a 30 years old 303, it is working and has its original output and PSU caps still on. I am considering replacing with new ones and thinking to raise the original 2K2 microF capacity. I need some help for choosing a suitable value and your opinion about replacement. Moreover checking the voltage value according to Quad service manual, one channel board was showing not stable values, using a multimeter the value keep oscillating fast +/- 0.5/2V, while the other board's values were stable, according to your experience is it acceptable for a 30 years old guy?
As you can argue I am not a professional, but an amateur with good soldering skills and love for vintage equipments.

Thank you in advance for your kind support!

No need to add capacitance, but you can put 4700uF caps in there with no issues.
