You do realize that two of them need to be non-polarized as they handle AC? And C1 really needs to be 150v or more. You'll have a hard time finding a 150v+ non-polarized axial cap that will fit inside the strobe board enclosure. I solved the problem by using two polarized caps wired in series, effectively making a non-polarized cap. The fact that caps in series add their voltage capacity makes it easy to get a value that will hold up. I detailed what I did here:

Thanks for documenting the strobe board repair.
I was going to send the link to your site when I saw the OP, but you beat me to it.
