What make?

Jamicon

Are they marked 105C?

Yep. They're 35V as opposed to the original 10V so I don't know if that
will have an influence on longevity. I'm guessing it can't do any harm
to be a bit overspec in this regard.

An ordinary electrolytic will fail in
short order in an SMPS where it needs a low ESR type.

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate?

IIRC Effective series resistance. ;-)

It's that old Eye Squared Arr thing.
