I bought some large assortments of 630v film capacitors and resistor assortments on ebay, they usually have free shipping, too. If you go that route, be sure you check where they're shipping from, a lot of them will be from Hong Kong and if so, you'll be waiting a couple weeks for them. There are several there that ship from within the US though.

The original resistors in the 20 are 1 watt, I only had 1/2 watt so I doubled up on resistance and ran them parallel to get back to 1 watt at correct resistance spec.
