Actually you could using modern MCC capacitors. You can certainly get 4.7uF, but I'm not sure what voltage they go up to. But my memories of the photos of what needs changing I would expect to get one in there.You would never fit a non-electrolytic 4μ7 cap on the board!
But personally I would use a teardrop tantalum one, unless the circuit designer is relying on some leakage through the capacitor.
