I avoid using ceramics in vertical and horizontal sweep circuits in general, as Eric noted.

If you don't have the needed value in 1000-volt caps, you can combine two 630-volt caps in series to make one cap with half the capacitance and twice the voltage rating.

For instance, say that you need a .1mfd/1000v cap. Wiring two .22mfd/630v caps in series gives you a .11mfd/1260v cap. That should work for the time being and allow you to progress in your restoration, while you order the 1000v cap you need.
