Ernie, what is the application? If you had, say a 1 mfd. electrolytic there would be no problem replacing it with a 1 mfd. mylar cap just as long as the voltage rating of the replacement cap is correct. You should be able to use mylar or polystyrene caps to replace electrolytics if you want. Mylar caps are non-polarized.

Replacing a NON-polarized cap with a polarized (electrolytic) cap would not work though. It's probably best to just replace with the same type that was originally in the circuit.
