I think I have painted myself into a corner.
I am rebuilding a power supply and need some 125 mfd @ 450v. To make
matters worse I want twist lock capacitors. I think at this time I
finally got myself into the impossible dream. If it can be resolved I'm
sure someone out there can help me.
Tnx es 73 Paul W7zca

Antique Electronics Supply carries all of the twist-lock types that
exist today.

If they don't sell it, you can open up the old one, remove the guts,
solder some modern 105'C radial types in there and fill it up with RTV.
Looks absolutely original, but with much better specs and longevity.

Not even close, Paul, there are many other can electrolytic types AES
doesnt have that are made specifically for the specialty market like
jukeboxes, etc. Granted, they are more or less custom units, but still they
are out there.
