Jerry -

AES is also selling new manufacture multiple section 
electrolytics.  Allegedly made on the Mallory machinery. 
They only have a few varieties now, but offer to consider 
other configurations.

They seem expensive at $30 or so each, but allowing for 
inflation it's not too far out of line.  Certainly a lot 
more expensive than tubulars though.
