A lot of antique radio restorers prefer to cut open
the can near the base,
remove the innards, and replace it with a modern (much smaller) capacitor.
Gluing it back together and polishing it up can make it look pretty close
to original.
Here's a pretty good write-up:

restuffing-a-multi-section-can-capacitor.html
This was a really good description on how to do it. I will look into this
method unless I find something else.
I maybe wasn't clear on that I already replaced the cap with a few simple
leaded types. It was not such a good fit mechanically so although I am not
fanatic of preserving the innards of the machine it would very good to have
cap with the original type of pin layout.
