Vintage U87i - replacing coupling capacitor C7, nonpolar film OK?

[adamasnan]

Hello!

Been searching all over for the past couple days, and cannot seem to find anything conclusive as to whether using a nonpolarized film cap instead of the stock polarized tantalum is safe for the circuit/transformer?

I have a 2.2uf WIMA ready to go..

Thanks!
