The replacement components are easy to track too. Resistors and capacitors manufactured to within plus or minus .0002% are not exactly easy to come by.

So? Buy a bushel of 1% components and test them until you find some that are close enough to work in your gadget.

Components that begin their useful life within atomic toleraces typically don't last long in a radioactive environment before they deteriorate out of tolerance.
