Need some info on replacement of these cap on the AUX loading switch assembly.  This Valiant has gone through many hands, it seems, and it has been highly modified on the AUX switch with large military type Mica Caps which are a mess.  Looks like someone used an Arc Welder on soldering them up.  Anyway, anyone know of a source for replacement caps that are of sufficient voltage/current ratings so as not to blow like the originals?  I know that special 3 tiered cap of 600,900,1200 pf is not available, so would make those individual types.  Hope I am making myself clear?  Might have to use those big ones, but I need to clean it up some.  Any help would be appreciated.
