MOTM

I don't think WIMA MKS come as big as 33uf, 16V (C6 in the 485).

You can substitute two polarized electrolytic caps for one non-polar.  
Wire them in *series* with the '+' terminals tied together and using the 
two '-' terminals in the circuit.  In series the capacitance is halved 
and the voltage doubled.  So, two 68 uf 16V polars in series approximate 
one 33 uf non-polar 32V.  No problem that the voltage is doubled.  The 
main problem with this is just physical space.  Be creative.
