Looks like a Sprague black beauty or similar, probably leaky, replace with orange drops, maybe up the voltage to 600 in case increase in line voltage over the years has stepped up your B+
 
Pretty much any film cap with at least 400v rating will work, there are plenty of good choices.
If you are bent on originality be prepared to spend!
I have never met an Sprague Orange Drop I didn't like
The yellow "Illinois" type work good and tend to be inexpensive, available, and easy to install.
Silver mica is nice...
