I am surprised you can't find those. .05 will do for .047 but .047 is more common. .003 is rare so you may need .0033.

Convert to nanofarads, .047 = 47 nF, etc. and you might have better success.

Mouser, Digikey, Jameco, all the distributors have these values. Or go to All Electronics.

And, it's perfectly OK to use 630V caps. For the replacement caps, you can go higher on the working voltage and 630V is pretty much the common standard today.

You can order all kinds of capacitors on e-bay. Today they a lot smaller, but as long as the MFD and voltage rating is at least or above the original rated voltage usually they work fine. Just search for the value under consumer electronics. I have a lot of small green caps off e-bay that work fine for replacing the old wax caps. Shipping is usually free.
