[Elecraft] Is this Cap OK to Use?

[Don Wilhelm]

Bruce,
Yes you can use the RS caps - any caps with the same value and a
sufficiently high voltage rating would do the job.  The only possible
problem could be a 'form factor' problem - either the lead spacing or the
physical size may not fit the board correctly and you will have to be
creative in cramming it in.  The SSB parts on the front panel board carry
only the audio, so it is not critical (electrically) for lead lenghts, etc.
