Default Opinions on capacitor type ...

Metalized film has many drawbacks, you really have to read the fine
print on the spec sheets. The metalization is soo thin it can't take
much peak current.

So instead of looking for exact replacements, which will just repeat
the cycles of failure,
I'd do the exact opposite-- look for something sturdier.


The caps will be slightly larger but if you can squeeze them in they
circuit might have a chance of lasting quite a bit longer.
