Rod,
You make me blush.
Ward,
There are people who sell these non-name caps, and they are good. As long as it is 600V cap, you could stick it just about anywhere. There are some names here in teh Resources; then there is Justcapacitors, Tubesandmore (Amplified parts it is called today), and yes, Digikey and Mouser (Moser is a watchmaker).
I buy mostly from Mouser when I need to by a lot of everything; if I need a very few parts, I might go elsewhere.
For the purpose of radiorepair, any paper cap could be replaced by a film cap.
PS. DO not replace mica capacitors unless during troubleshooting one is proven bad; they do not go bad on their own due to age.
PPS> And, yes, like Rod said, I restuff the caps. I replace the resistors only if needed (badly out of tolerance/open/burnt).

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
