Capacitor questions

I don't think you can replace that capacitor with an electrolytic.
The original one is a pass through and will need to see currents in both directions.
I would tend to go with the designers schematic as I would assume he has done some form of testing.
Electrolytes are used to smooth dc.

Hi , thanks for the answer , do they do a pass through SMD replacement for the cap ? How would I search for the part, bit new to this sorry :)

Actuall I might just replace all the resistors with SMD and leave the rest as through hole I think I will have enough room in the end.
