My atari 2600 has no sound, which is a common problem with an easy fix, just replace 2 capacitors. The original capacitors are 820uf820pf polystyrene axial capacitors, and these are a bit tricky to find. Could I just replace these with any other kind of capacitor like an electrolytic or ceramic one? DO they do the exact same thing or are they different?

Are polystyrene capacitors equal to electrolytic ones?
