These two caps are the hi freq audio filter, many times called a "tweet filter."

A standard value for a dipped silver mica cap is 110pf and readily available at many part suppliers and vendors. Close enough is also fine if you are not picky. The cap/resistor filter cutoff freq is in no way critical.
