Have you contacted Hipotronics, just in case?  It's not uncommon for
a manufacturer to make parts like caps in batches, which might not
have been the same number they sold to whoever they made them for
(KVA FX in this case).  When I was having caps custom-made for me by
PCI, they made them up in batches (20, I think he told me) larger
than I bought at one time (10), so whenever I called and wanted
another ten, they had them ready to ship.

I assume they have some kind of nameplate on them with a part number,
but if not, perhaps Jeff can give you the part number they were
ordered under.

I can't imagine any other way or place you'd get more of the exact
same cap.
