Electronics are just made better, smaller, cheaper these days. You're new cap is actually rated for a higher maximum voltage. The capacitance (what matters as long as you don't exceed the maximum voltage rating) is slightly different, but depending on the application, shouldn't make any difference. I did take a number of electrical engineering courses in undergrad, but it's been a while, so take my opinion for what it cost you
Quoted from MrBally:The original lasted 35 years; you'll be lucky to get 15 years out of the "new, improved" one.
