Thanks capbuster. Iam not very math smart.
I checked Just Radios <http://www.justradios.com/orderform.html> but .075 uF isn't one of the "vintage" values they stock. It shouldn't be a big deal to use either .068 or .082 uF, both standard values. If you've GOTTA have .075 uF, parallel a .068 and .005 to make .073, or .047 and .027 (or .056 and .018) to get .074. Just Radios has .07 uF caps, to which you could parallel a .005 uF to hit .075 right on the nose (notwithstanding the caps' tolerances). But it shouldn't be *that* critical.

Take care,
