[Heathkit] DX-100B Capacitor Question

I am rebuilding a DX-100B and saw a posting that it would be a good idea to replace the 68 pF mica between the driver and final.

The existing capacitor is a molded mica Sangamo.  It has no color codes, but on one side is stamped "68 5%".  

On the other side, it is stamped "2000 VW" (not WV).  It is arranged like a 6 dot format, and when you hold it with the arrow pointing right, the digit "2" is molded into the upper middle dot.

Is this a 2000V part ?  A quick check of the Mouser site shows the typically available CDE micas (CDV19) are only rated up to 1000V.  Any suggestions for a replacement ?

Thanks,

Bruce
