Antique Electronic Supply (www.tubesandmore.com) has some Twist Lock 
("FP") 
caps for sale in its latest catalog.  From what I can tell, they are made from 
scratch and not NOS.  Here is what the listing states:

    With the transfer of FP capacitor manufacturing equipment (much of it 
built by 
    Mallory, the inventor of the FP type), to CE Manufacturing LLC, customers 
can 
    be assured of a quality American-made product.  These capacitors are 
epecially 
    applicable to new designs in the growing market of vacuum-tube audio and 
    musical manufacturing as well as in the industrial electronics industry.

Listed are nine values:

20/20 MFD {at}450 V
20/20/20/20 MFD {at} 475 V 
30/30/30/10 MFD {at} 475 V
30/30/30 MFD {at} 525 V
40/40/20/20 MFD {at} 525 V
40/20/20/20 MFD {at} 525 V
40/40/40 MFD {at} 525 V
80/40/30/20 MFD {at} 525 V
100/100 MFD {at} 500 V

Phenolic or metal plates are also available for mounting these caps.  Prices 
are considerably higher than those quoted by DH Distributors, and range from 
$26.95 to $33.95 plus shipping.
