So it all comes down to those precision capacitors. David
Where are we with respect to the two thermistors on the original osc brd? I'm pretty sure that the original components are unobtainable.

The thermistors are unobtanium unless you scrap some other equipment that contains them.

When it comes to capacitors I have been in contact with a few "audio" focused companies and they can select capacitors from their normal ranges to get 1.99µF at +/-1-2% at the required voltage (I don't know their minimum order though) but they can only supply Polypropylene and some other metallized types but not Styroflex.
