Hello - I have a question in regards to replacing electrolytic capacitors. I am working on a B&K model 1076 television analyst that contains many electrolytic capacitors. They are particularly abundant on the circuit boards surrounding the flying spot scanner. I am looking to replace the capacitors; however, I only have polypropylene capacitors. Is it ok to replace electrolytic capacitors with polypropylene capacitors of the same rating and value?

Cheers!
