Yeah, at first I thought those were tantalums too. And there's another part on the PCB with exactly the same form factor, also containing a "metal can", but turns out to be a crystal. The label gives you a hint.

And as you mention, getting a "new" one of these off eBay for "collector" prices may inherit you somebody else's problems... Rolleyes

I've already replaced the 100µF's from my stock of Pana FR's. Now looking for suitably stubby 10µF's without going entirely miniature, as those have pretty low service life (I just replaced a whole bunch of those in my old Toyota's radio -- another big mess).

Not to hijack.  Here's the BEFORE and AFTER of the board from an Insite Floptical (repair didn't solve issue, unfortunately).  Same caps and my method to install NEW caps with a standard radial can, they do fit perfectly in both length and height as the board goes UNDER another metal structure so they had to fit.  This demonstrates my upside down sled technique.
