I did start a thread about this deck a few years ago but can't find it now. I have replaced most of the electrolytics but made a mistake ordering 2 caps that were polarised when they should have been non polarised - can I use them?. Some of the new caps are much smaller than the original ones which were Elna, the new ones are Panasonic.should I be concerned about this?
Do not use polarised when the caps should be non polar.
Modern electrolytic capacitors tend to be smaller than their older equivalents due to advancements in manufacturing techniques.

Use the spare room to increase the voltage rating and/or temperature rating of the replacement parts.
They will last longer.

That's what I thought Galu.Do not use polarised when the caps should be non polar.
