paper caps. Since 0.05s are not READILY available, I am split equally on

3000 pF isn't going to make much difference in a .05 mFd bypass. You can get
the .05
values from NTE if you feel the need to keep it original. JustRadios.com

has them too. Personally, I'd use the best quality axial lead yellow
jackets I could find.
If you really want to keep it original, consider
restuffing the old cardboard shells from the wax caps to preserve the under
chassis
appearance.
