In search of sardine capacitor for GE vortalex pedestal

Just replace with the small black plastic brick style of cap available on Amazon, eBay and elsewhere.  You’ll need to know the mfd (microfarad) value on the original cap.  It’s ok to go with a SLIGHTLY smaller value due to todays higher voltages. Try to find one in the 380-440 voltage rating range. 
 

The sardine type caps were filled with PCB based oil (causes cancer) and are no longer available .
