here is a recap list for an MCI 500 console I did several years ago. There are a few versions so make sure this makes sense for your modules. Either way it should be helpful. The part numbers are from digikey.com . They are Phillips/BC axial caps. You can raise the value on some of these caps if they will fit but I remember there being a space constraint.
Interesting you should mention the BC axials. I recently recapped a pair of channels in a friends MCI 400 series desk with BC axials & it completely changed the sound of those channels. They sounded very clear in a sterile way, but not as exiting & coloured as those original orange coloured caps. In fact the owner was disappointed with the sound.
Is your friend using the original power supply? I use a pair of 6 amp Lambda's and they make the recapped original sound sick.
The VCA is a weak point in the console. I ditch the VCA in my racks
