You can only use ceramics if you double the capacitance, otherwise you'll have incurable non-linearity in the sweep.
I just go on mouser and get Wima brand red rectangular film caps of that voltage and .0047uF/4700pF they work great in all the various brands of electrostatic sets I've tried them in including my TV-37, and they're the cheapest new cap I know of... Only downside is this leads are short so I have to solder extensions on... Besides that I can't complain. I keep a certain number of them in stock so I can buy and start on an electrostatic deflection set any day I feel like it.
