Antique electronics supply has what you need also.
In terms of the can Caps I have used the JJ's and the F&T brand and been pleased, do you have a Viriac?

Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

If you're going for original values, it's hard to find certain caps for some models. The 16uF/32uF can is pretty much only available from ARS (you can find that one on eBay and the seller actually is ARS, but doesn't say so.) The 220uF/385v cap from JJ is PC mount (you can use that of course); F&T makes it with solder tabs, but the only place I've seen it a la carte is C3 Amps. Call Clayton Calloway at HiTone; he has full recap kits for most vintage Hi Watt models (the website says they are out of stock, but he is expecting new supply shortly). Mark Huss can vouch for him.
