I've ordered Solen Fast capacitors to replace the electrolytics, and ordered some mica caps as well. With any luck they might be here by next weekend. I think I will use Solens in all of my better radios from now on...that is, as long as they will fit in the capacitor cans in which they will be used. They cost quite a bit more than new electrolytics but they will likely not require replacement for decades. And they fit very nicely in the large prewar aluminum cans.
