Where can i find Obsolete striped poly capacitors? or what i

I am trying to repair an old PCB and it has several of the old style capacitors that look like resistors on them,
I am trying to find a place that still sells these NOS possibly, but at the very least what is the best
replacement because i've found a million different types of caps, which are the most identical to
the obsolete ones and function?

Please remove SPAM from the email address if responding by email, thanks.

I haven't encountered any of those in many years. We always replaced

everyone we found as they were always bad. Any cap of equal value & voltage
rating will work.

There is NO advantage to these capacitors, except to sell them on ebay to fools
who want these for some reason.*

Replace with any quality capacitor of the same rating, voltage, and type. For
most electronic uses, the Sprague 715 or 716P are excellent subs that will
outlast what they're put in.

*I actually know the reason. People restoring electronics like to have
original parts in their equipment even though they can't be seen below the
chassis. I have lots of vintage audio gear and old radios, and I always use
modern replacements for capacitors, resistors, and rectifiers. Years ago I
restored a Philco cathedral for a guy who wanted all the paper caps and wet
electrolytic cans "restuffed". I charged him for time and material and it
wasn't cheap.

Museum quality repair...thats what I call it.
