Not sure of the dimensions, but Hayseed has one for a HW-16 that will do the
trick.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.  I found one that will do the trick on
one of the suggested sites. 

On a capacitor related note, I have another one that needs replacement and
is a bit more difficult.  It's a 4-capacitor can.  I've tested them and all
are leaky.  The values inside are 50mfd @ 350v, 40mfd @ 350v, 80mfd @ 250v
and 80mfd @ 250v.  I have searched the sources and can't find any of the
multi-capacitor cans with those values.  I looked at taking the can apart
and replacing the caps but I would likely destroy the can in the process.  I
also looked at just leaving the can in for cosmetic value and putting
replacement caps underneath the chassis.  In this case, that's not possible
due to lack of available room.  The existing parts are literally crammed in
there.  Anyone have suggestions?
