Parts Express maybe? I know some house has them...

Anyone else remember who???

If no luck you may have to stack two 450 volt caps (900 volt rating then, but half the capacitance of series pair so double the cap values) to get what you need in voltage rating. Be sure to use equalising resistors across every stacked cap.

Two 20 uF/450 volt electrolytics, in series, equals one 10 uF/900 volt cap. Bridging each cap with a 100-150K, 1/2 watt resistor equalises the voltages across each cap.
