Since C1 is a unicorn for many people (3.9uf, 25v), on a whim, I decided to figure out what to replace C1 with on the analog board.
(I was recapping the analog board to make sure that the startup problem I've been having is not related to it.)
It turns out that a 4.7uf 450v non-polar capacitor works just fine. It seems easier to get.
Be careful, though, because you also have to take into account the size. Don't get the tiny ones, even though their voltage rating says otherwise. I got one that was about half the size of the original.
