Lisa 2 Capacitors

Hello all... So I have replaced in my Lisa's the Power Supply and Video Board caps.. including the X2 film caps... many of mine were cracked... (not good)... at any rate.. I want to recap the CPU, I/O, and memory board 10uf 16v caps with tantalum rather than electrolytic... Just as a maintenance thing.. so I don't have to worry.... Can I do this?? I am looking at 10uf 25v tantalum replacements... the old one's are axial 10uf 16v (not easy to find anymore at this voltage)...

25v 10uf will be fine. I never replace regular capacitors with tantalums of the same voltage rating. I always go the next voltage rating up.
