Good news for me, an  HP Manual Change indicates these particular caps can 
be replaced with 100uf/25V  aluminum electrolytics.  Whew!

Glad  to hear they can be replaced with common 100uF/25V electrolytics. 
Those are dirt  cheap nowadays.Just curious what types are in there now that 
need replacing?  Radial lead or axial lead? 100uF/25V seems to be an unusually 
large size for a  dry tantalum, they usually go up to 47 or 68uF in that 
voltage range. 47uF/25V  dry tantalums seem to go for around $4-$5 each brand 
new. Someone could parallel  2 of those small ones for 94uF/25V for less 
than $10 for each replacement. You  must be looking at wet tantalums in the 
Mouser catalog?
