For replaces I have a mix of film caps, the "generic yellow" axial caps form Just Radio, but mostly I have the Panasonic "radio film" caps that I get from Mouser. But I also have cone new CDE radials and axials too. Personally I would never use NOS caps, as they will have probably gone bad sitting on the shelf for the last 30+ years.
I guess being a child of the 90's I am used to buying "Japan Inc" having been weened on Sony ads back then. As for "Buy American" i do that when possible my LP phono cart and one of the nice pair of headphones that I had(which where stolen) are made by Grado Labs in Brooklyn. But "Buy American" is a big trap, what is "American Made" there are no real FTC regulations so say you buy an "American Made" spray nozzle for your garden, well only that outer plastic covering is American made, but it gets to be labeled that.
