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...
