Fileter caps on G08 - Source?

Anyone know of a good source (any source for that matter) for the large
filter caps used on the G08 deflection board? A couple of mine look like
balloons on the top...

The main problem I am having is that the caps are the four post variety
and the spacing between the positive and negative terminals is fixed.
20.5mm to be exact. The PCB itself can't easily be modified with a new
hole, so before I start drilling and applying even more wire hacks -
anyone got a source? :)

I can give you a sample of the manufacturers and part numbers. Let's
take a look at the 680uF 160V cap at position C402.

The original part is an ELNA. Apparently, they don't make the snap-in
type with four posts anymore. I have tracked down two manufactures who
*can* make the parts, but apparently because they are so seldom used, no
one carries any stock and want an order for x thousand units before they
will move.

1. Cornell Dubilier has their 383L681M200 and 383LX681M200 parts (I
assumed I wanted to upgrade to 200V from 160V but even the 160V parts
are not stocked).

2. Chemi-Con (UCC) has their SMH200VN681M parts.

Since there are at least two other people on this list currently working
on G08s, anyone have a source? The kicker is, I can buy the smaller
Nichicon version all day long at $1.95 each. Unfortunately, the pin
spacing on it (and all other two-pin snap in caps) is 10mm.
