Metro guy uses those bigass cool ceramics, and I wish to know where to find them... I'm also after couple of plexi era Marshalls

Values needed are 50pf (47-56pf) 250pf (240-270pF) and 500pF (470-560pF)

Looks like some Murata caps I've scavenged from old TV sets and radios.
I don't know if they are still in production

Got the values, but not the same look.
