Can I still buy Quad ESL63 with no repair record?

Speaker cables for mid and high

Stabilizer weight for REGA P5
That is not an overly heavy damper/clamp,I wouldn't worry. 
Precision Audio Supply capacitor;4.0Ufd
I am assuming that these capacitors are long-gone,due to no responses.I knew that the gentleman who had spec'd them and had them built died.A real loss,as they were great capacitors.He will be missed.
