C703 is 0.01uF 1000V DC

C704 is 0.022uF 400VDC This can be a much lower voltage. 100V will do. No harm in using a higher voltage cap though.

I recommend metallised polypropylene capacitors. You will need to choose C703 so that it fits in the gap (perhaps an orange drop type will do this), or you could fit a cylindrical cap on long leads.

It might be better to wait until you have the fuse and can try some more tests before ordering the caps, just in case you need more caps.

Is the fuse link resistor R241 still intact?
