From what I have seen, ceramics were common in gear made in the 50's and 60's because of their small relative size and reasonable consistency in manufacturing.   You should be able to order them from companies like Digikey, Mouser, etc.. Just make sure the voltage ratings are high enough, and you should be ok.   I've seen on-line "photo piles" of before/after restoration efforts in which modern components were "hidden" inside of hollowed-out components. Maybe you can stash a modern ceramic inside of the paper/wax tube, and seal it up with a bit of hot glue...
