I have not dealt with justradios.com, so had not seen the 1.0 ufd orange(yellow in Petes picture) capacitors. I have used many of the electrolytics and the smaller size modern orange drops seen in Petes picture.

I have also replaced several 3 to 4 ufd capacitors, usually in the ratio detector of TVs. These are required to be 50 volts or so, so are easy to find. However, I have replaced some that require 3 to 4 ufd at 450 volts and had no trouble to date finding modern versions of these. I have some modern 33 ufd at 500 volt electrolytics that I have used when voltages above 450 are required.

As shown in Petes picture and mentioned previously, using non-electrolytics to replace small value electrolytics is not a problem when space is avaliable. I am at present working on a 1958 Philco Seventeener with all of the electrolytics mounted just between the bottom of the CRT and the chassis. I replaced all of the filters, etc with modern electrolytics. Space would have been an issue in a set like this if I tried to do otherwise(I had to remove the CRT to get to them).
