Canadian Philco model 20

Really don't think small value high voltage electrolytics in larger physical dimensions are made any more. In fact some of the larger dimensioned axial electrolytics sold today are actually fake.

Sprague used to make the "Atom" series replacement electrolytics with reasonably large dimensions. If you buy one of these today and take it apart you will find that they actually stuff a tiny cap inside the larger can, just to make it look substantial like the older production. And for this deception they charge a ridiculous price.
