Check with Moyers Electronics (Google them, or go to moyerelectronics.com) - They are RCA/Thomson Distributors and likely have the caps. I've had great luck with NOS caps that have been reformed (by slowly bringing the cap to max working voltage with a current limited supply) - the military does this with shelf stock, and I do it with my Sencore LC102.
"You'll never find the exact replacements." - Why the despair? I have 231 New Can caps - Mallory, CDE, Sprague, Zenith, RCA, GE, and NAP. And I paid no where near 40 bucks a piece, either. Don't give up in finding vintage electronic parts - there are far more resources out there if folks would only look.
Cheers,
