Read your data sheet, especially the "solid MnO2 electrolyte" part, and then google tantalum capacitors. Do some deductions, get some replacement tants, and get on with the music!

solid aluminium capacitor = tantalum?

1/f noise suggest current noise due to impurities or granularity rather than thermal noise due to ESR. Thermal noise is supposed to be white, the other 1/f as mentioned. As usual there is probably a bit of both but usually a frequency where them are the same level and the band of interest defines which one is the problem in each case. If we have the crossing at 1kHz the 1/f will predominate, if we have 30Hz the white will be the problem.

yup same electrolyte as tant but dielectric is aluminium oxide not tantalum oxide.

Important to remember the SPACE restrictions, or form factors, of electrolytics back in the classic Neve days. Tant was best space/capacitance value. And yes I see some lytics on my 283.
People seem to forget engineering is always compromise, and not every product decision is an audio decision.
Now film caps in EQ's, on a big console. There's some place I wouldn't expect anyone to notice, but they did (without being told any work had been performed), and we had to go back and replace all the replacement caps with stacked film replacement caps.

The datasheet posted by Zam above has a picture of the cap which exactly matches the picture in the first post in this thread.
