The OEM capacitor, which will be stable,  is $26.45   from Ameritron.

It is $29.95 from RF parts.

Both are N750 types. You need a #6 lug, a short #6 screw (3/16th long), and 
some #16 bus wire plus a brass washer that Ameritron will have.  The chokes 
come from Ameritron no matter where you buy them.

I'd just get it all from Ameritron, since they will also have the hardware 
and appear to be less expensive.
