I won't have trouble finding a capacitor. Metalized film caps with that value are quite common.

Looks like I'll have to record the voltage levels there during startup and operation of the set. (Once I get my hands on it and hopefully restore it.)

The fact that Sylvania wanted 150V for the positive rating makes me think that even if it's only a transient that a normal electrolytic wouldn't be very happy living there.

It's great that everyone has been so helpful and thought carefully about this, but I really was only curious about such a wierd capacitor and whether others had ever seen one. I hope the original is still there to look at.
