Even so, I doubt they'd be more than about a quid each. (They also featured a pair of the afore-mentioned E13005 devices, presumably made by the gazillion for this market).

Those RIFA (now Kemet) axial capacitors are excellent quality and quite expensive, I can't find a 125°C but the 105°C at 6.8uF 450V is £2.10 each in quantities of 1000, lower quantities if I could find them would be much higher priced.
