Hello Barry,
The C612 was originally a 8µF, 30V tantalum capacitor with liquid
electrolyte that was supposed to last forever...
Like many other R-390 and R-390A parts, history proved it to be false.
Yes you can use a 10µF, 25V or + standard electrolytic for replacement.
At least it will not leak in 50 years from now...
BTW, for all the ones that still have that original cap in place: replace it
ASAP, before it can create damage...
