I have (somewhere) some ceramic .001@10,000 they worked good in Horiz section of the Motorola VT-71 sets, I could probably dig them up if you need them.

Sylvania used oil filled paper caps. The one in my set was actually a bumblebee and it has the same part number as in his set so I assumed it would be the same. The part list for his set also refers to it as a molded paper capacitor.

I used the 15KV 470pF film cap from justradios because it was about the same physical size and was easy to replace.
