Default Wanted .15 MFD 1600 Volt Caps source

I am rebuilding a Heathkit Ho-10 and I'm looking for the high voltage
filter caps. They originals were 0.15 mfd at 1600 volts.
If the transformer really puts out 1200 VAC then I believe the caps
should have been rated at 2KV. I can not find any rated at 0.15 at 1600
or higher voltage. Does any one know of a source.

Putting lower voltage rated caps in series to achieve the required cap.
worries me because the adding voltage equalization resistors across the
caps would increase the current pulled from the marginally rated power
transformer.

My parts unit has an open primary from too much current draw.

Thanks

Jim
