Illinois Capacitor caps are fine, I've used them in other projects without any problems.
As this 38-690 is missing three of its electrolytic cans and I don't have very many electrolytic cans here, I'm leaning toward using the caps Bob A. recommended to replace the three missing 8 uF cans. I do like the ones Arran suggested, but the ones Bob suggested are almost half the price of the aluminum can film caps. I will restuff the other cans, connecting two 8 uF caps in parallel inside one can to get 16 uF, close enough as a replacement for the 18 uF cap.
