I did a search on this but can't find any discussion on the caps, only the resistors and the transistors. On the schematic I got the caps are very difficult to distinguish but they look like 25 and 50u. I built one using the 2k2 trim pot to t2 and used AC141 npn transistors. I tried a few silicon transistors on the t2 position but didn't lijke them. The sound is almost there but not quite, it is a typical Ge fuzz sound but is missing somethig and the high strings don't register properly which makes me think that the caps should be 2.5 and 5.0u. I also can't make out the values for the collector resistor of t3 which could be 1.5k or 1.5m. I used a 1.5k.

Sorry, forgot to post the link;

I also noticed that the collector resitor for t3 is 1.5k.
