[Amps] doorknob cap suppliers ?

[Robert Harmon]

Carl,
Yes that is what is in there, two 2000pf 6kv discs in parallel.
I'm going through and upgrading caps in the amp, already replaced the electrolytic filter caps in the power supply,
thought I might upgrade these two disc ceramics while I was at it. 
It makes sense to replace old electrolytics but these two disc ceramics look just fine, maybe I should just leave them alone.
(They just don't look beefy enough with their little twisted together wire leads, hi,hi)
