Hi folks I'm really new with electronics. Doing a massive project for a
retro computer system and, as a prong of this project I'm attempting to
locate a modern equivalent of the board components. Enter the tantalum
capacitor. Having gone to digikey, mouser, and newark none of them seem
to have the item I'm looking for in stock.

What are the rules about alternate values? The tantalum cap I'm looking
for, according to the service manual, has the following rating:

1uf,10v, +-20%. 

The DIP style cap that the board uses isn't in stock anywhere so would I
be able to substitute this cap for 1uf, 20v, +-20%?

Thanks,

Daniel
