[TenTec] OT: swapping a Tantalum for a Electrolytic

Besides my various Ten Tecs, I will occasionally refurb something else.
I have a TS-50 that suffers the classic "leaky" electrolytic issue... (they
leak and damage
the underlying board traces). I need to swap out a surface mount 47uf 16v.
Rather than risk another leaky part, for the SMD part I can either swap it
out for a leaded part, or a
smaller leaded Tantalum cap. (both rated at 25v) Any risk in swapping a
tantalum for the electrolytic?
