Welcome! Dave has a much better selection of hard to find Capacitors at his website:
http://www.justradios.com He is located in Canada, so pay for the "fastest airmail" option if you are in a hurry to get all your new capacitors. Check your schematic closer also, and make sure you order the correct replacements. Always observe polarity and voltage ratings according to original schematics when replacing capacitors. Use higher voltage ratings than originals called for when using modern replacement caps. When sets have been previously "hacked", no telling what someone used in the past. Most likely something they had on hand. Best of luck restoring your vintage Philco!!
