*** Modern elecrolytics have more C per unit volume than the
electrolytics of yesteryear. Finding an exact mechanical replacement
with the same electrical ratings is not likely. However - more C is OK
as long as the glitch resistor can stand the extra joules/watt-seconds.
-- Digikey and Mouser have a pretty good selection. 105ºC-rated
electrolytics have the longest life..
