Two rules for selecting replacement caps when exact replacements are not available: you can fudge the capacitance by 10%(in most cases) with papers(and to higher %s with lytics), and you can always put in a capacitor with a higher voltage rating than the original (but NEVER go lower).

Most circuits expect a 10-30% on most parts (Lytics could have 50% tolerance back in the day). Capacitors voltage rating is for the maximum voltage that can be safely applied with out blowing them. You could replace a 50V 10,000pF cap with a 50,000V 10,000pF high voltage door knob cap and it would work fine provided you could find the space to mount the larger doorknob cap.
