SAS2 - "Film" capacitor vs. Ceramic?

I've been replacing the capacitors on the circuit board to my Seeburg SAS2 auto speed unit.

Now I am down to the capacitor near the solenoid on the exterior of the auto speed unit. C2105 if you're following along in your manual.

The C2105 is a 0.05 MFD 200 V cap.

When I went to the mom-&-pop electronics store (they're still around in Dallas surprisingly), I was reading off my shopping list while the kind gentleman got the caps. I didn't realize at the time he got a 475nf 1000 V ceramic capacitor. I know that those numbers should be good enough to replace, but . . .

Can I replace this mylar 0.05 MFD 200 V with a Ceramic 0.0475 MFD 1000 V?

Yes, you can--but why bother ??
mMore importantly, do you have a -1 or -2 PCB ?
