The word going around is they are counterfeit Chinese caps.
Try and find an Internet presence for them.

K4POZ sells 390uF/450V/105°C capacitors at $2.75 each plus shipping.
They are not screw terminal jobs but that shouldn't matter.

See http://swap.qth.com/c_amphf.php and scroll down the ads to get to
his ad.. He renews it quite often.
