^ you don't have this issue from mouser or digikey. They may not have the yellow film caps, but those yellow caps are objectively worse parts for anything but restuffing, and most of us don't restuff most of the time.
I mostly use the red ceramic Panasonic film caps in my repairs and only use the yellows for restuffs. The yellow caps can be instantly destroyed by accidently touching the body with a soldering iron. You don't get the with the Panasonics. The leads of the Panasonic caps may not be quite as long, but 1/10 caps I instal having some 18ga bare solid core copper inline western union spliced on and tinned so they can reach the terminals in the chassis isn't the end of the world....Heck, the yellow caps sometimes need an extension splice to match original routing too!
The 630V Panasonic films tend to be too tall for easy restuffing, but the 1.6kV parts tend to be short and skinny enough to be condusive to restuffs and last time I ordered caps, for most capacitances, the 1.6kV were cheaper than 630V.
