Make sure the voltage and microferrat rating matches.
where do you buy replacement caps?

No you're not. As the previous guy said, replace them with identical solid caps.

I'm wary about buying from small distributer. There's too much counterfeiting going on now. Even the military is plagued with it (a scary thought). Why they need to save $5 on a part for a 50 million dollar fighter jet is beyond me.
