My opinion is that any, repeat any, modern film cap of appropriate ratings 
and value is fine for the R-390 A or non-A.  In some spots you may need to 
find a cap that fits the space - some caps may be too big for the tight 
quarters.

Voltage ratings way above the original are not needed.

Use any electrolytic that fits the space in the audio module to replace the 
tantalum that's in there.

Anyone who worries about metal film resistors having inductance is wasting 
their energy on trivia.
