If it were a 500V electrolytic that might present a problem but two 450V of the correct uf rating should do. You can purchase caps from various places, I think both Ron and the repair bench have links. I purchase mine from ebay, along with just radios and Radio Daze. Modern caps are rated at least 10% surge over rated capacity so for a 450 volt cap you are looking at about 495v. Syl posted a nice way to rebuild caps where you screw the top on and it looks rather neat and easy to do. Check ebay item 380096414578, I have purchased from him many times on many items and his prices are fair.
