I got them at All Electronics,  http://www.allcorp-dot-com has their catalog
in PDF format.  They were selling the Wima units for $0.75 each.  They
had 300 on hand and I ordered 200 of them, so they may not have enough
left.  But they did have another .015uF/1500V polypropylene unit listed,
not sure what the make/model is (listed as THD 23-3, you may want to
question them on this and research exactly what this is before laying
down $100+) so you could still try them.
