I need to replace the 160uf 350v capacitor on the solenoid board, but it's crazy expensive.
Is there an equivalent part I can get at a reasonable price?

What is your opinion of "crazy expensive"? I mean a few dollars to fix something that costs over $1000? Why be so cheap? 
Thanks! Will being 10uf less make a difference?

I went to the usual electronics parts places and the price ranged anywhere from $40 all the way up to $90. Not reasonable for a capacitor imo.

I bought these caps specifically for these Bally and Stern boards. 160uF is not a standard value... but 150uF is. The 10uF difference in value won't make any difference in functionality.
However, GPE has to shut down for a week (maybe longer).
I believe Todd still has some of this size available:
