Here's a note I received on one fellows success with
replacing flash-rated capacitors with plain-vanilla
electrolytics.
His confirmation of my past experiences suggests that
the experiment is worth repeating.

electrolytics in two Whelen strobe supplies.... Worked fine then and is
working fine now. Some spray-on conformal coating helps cut down on the
high-voltage corrosion in the units.

Yes I did the same, I had a pair of Aeroflash units in my old Zodiac.
Standard repair for each Aeroflash was $50. Standard capacitor was $10
and 10 minutes with a soldering iron.
I only used to get a couple of years per capacitor but that seemed no
worse than the Caps the Aeroflashers came with.
Cheers
Frank
