Actually, the replacement part that my rep. recommended was P5205.  That's
a 330uF 6.3V electrolytic radial cap. which was specifically designed to "meet
the requirements of use over wide temperature range... with the same case size
as the SU series".  P6203 is part of the SU series.  Checking Digikey's
measurements, you can see this:
		P6203			P5205
can height	.441" = 11.2mm		11.2mm
can diameter	.248" =  6.3mm		 6.3mm
leg spacing	.098" =  2.5mm		 2.5mm
leg diameter	.020" =   .5mm		  .5mm
This is the one thing I hate about Digikey: sometimes they give dimensions in
inches, and sometimes in mm.  Grrrr.  I wish they'd keep to one unit.

The one problem with the P5205 is that it's more expensive than the P6203
($.1487 vs. $.0863 are the prices for my mass buy).
