This is the Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor I had in mind in my suggestion earlier in the thread, datasheet impedance looks suitable, and I suspect its life will be much longer than an electrolytic. Even though it’s an SMD part, it should be able to easily be soldered in place of the electro. I’m going to order some and install, will post results.
