Default Tantalum capacitor value?

I need to replace some capacitors in a boat anchor receiver. These caps
are across the power supply rails on a logic circuit board. They are
marked "227 +10K". My interpretation of that is 220 MF. at 10 VDC with a
10% tolerance. Does my interpretation sound correct?

Any suggestions for a replacement? If I use tantalums will I be doing this
again in 20 years?

Thanks,
