Am I able to use a 47uf 100v in place of the original C8 10uf 160v cap on a Gottlieb System 1 powerboard.

It is called out on Pinwiki as a suitable replacement although I wanted to check. The voltage should be ok based on the circuit.

Quoted from sparky672:

In a DC voltage smoothing circuit, the higher capacitance is better. However, I am suspicious about the lower voltage rating. Dropping from 160 to 100 is fairly substantial and depends on the operating conditions.
EDIT: Trust PinWiki...

Awesome and thanks.
