I found Kenwood filters for my old TS-440S at International Radio 13620 Tyee
Road Umpqua OR for a reasonable price. I tried the more conventional sources
such PartsStore.com but even though they listed the filters they were
discontinued.

The old radios from the late 80s through the mid-90s are hard to get parts
for sometimes.

The only draw back to ones from International were they were not direct
replacement, they were mounted pn a circuit board mounted to my IF board
with some double sticky foam tape. The orignal filters were hard to find
without buying them off eBay as a used item for a premium price.

Good luck, the filter do make a big difference, my Kenwood is used as a
beater radio for our club Field Day and other outdoor events. The operators
last year raved at how clear the SSB signals were over the previous FD..
