Philco 46-1209 Radio Can Capacitors
#1

I am replacing the capacitors in the two cans on my Philco 46-1209 radio. The cans are now empty and I am having a difficult time finding the caps of the right specs that will fit inside the cans. The first can needs a 20mfd 450vdc cap. The can id. is .940" and the length is 1.70". I would prefer a radial cap but I believe that there is room for an axial. The second can uses a 10mfd 450vdc and a 25mfd 450vdc cap. The can id. is 1.32" and the length is 1.62". Again, I would prefer radial caps but axials or a mix of both are ok as long as they fit in the cans. The cap that I am having the most trouble finding is the 25mfd 450vdc in a radial form. I see a lot of 22mfd vdc but no 25mfd 450vdc radial. Does anyone know where I can find these? Will the 22mfd be ok for replacement of the 25mfd?
