oscillation in power supply filter caps

Hello, I have two VTL 225 mono blocks that I just got and I feel an oscillation in the both of the filter capacitors on one of the amps only. They were made for VTL and have a value of 3800uF and 400 vdc. Could the caps have gone bad, I have ordered replacements for both, 4900uF at 400 vdc as the units I'm sure are 30 years old. Any thoughts?

Also one of the fuse holders is damaged and I was thinking of replacing both with better ones, they are at 15 amps each, any thoughts on replacements and from who.

Littelfuse makes a copper alloy/tin plate holder(click on the pic to see the pdf/download). Acme fuse holders are silver-plated and inexpensive: https://www.partsconnexion.com/fuses-holders-clips.html .

There’s always the silver plated audiophile fuse holder from Acme Audio Beep! Beep! to consider. Not for the timid. 😬
