Hi,
The brake blocks on my sons 25 year old Raleigh Equipe have come to their end.
Can I use any replacement blocks or should I use something more specific?
PS. The calipers and brake levers work fine.

    There is a long answer. If your calipers take modern shoes (if the bolt goes through the hole) then use modern shoes/pads end of...
    If it doesn't, you can either file the caliper to allow the bolt through or you can reuse the shoes. Kool stop make some vintage type brake pads, which do fit campagnolo Nuovo Record/Super Record shoes, do they fit Weinmann? Don't know, but you can cut them to length if required. They are very squeeky, but do work well.
    Otherwise you can look on ebay if there are NOS replacement pads for your calipers
