Yep,

Unless you have NOS or the skills/materials to replicate the part, its the only game in town...

10 mf for a 6 is O.K. (unless there is a small cap across the associated inductor). If so try to get closer to the 6mf.

Upon first fire up, monitor the B+ at the 10 (6) mf cap. Some sets the B+ will rise above the 450 for a (scary) bit of time. These new electrolytics are no where as robust as the wet (liquid filled) electrolytics...

YMMV
