I would love to replace with some new ones from Mouser or Digikey; it's minimum 20€ for shipping from them, and things are simply not arriving anymore from overseas. Here's where my last shipment from the US, which was sent on May 8, is, no further info available except they insist it's not lost:

Processed Through Regional Facility
CHICAGO IL INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER


So I'm going to try to use parts available here in the EU. Nobody that I can find has electrolytics near the value I need, and those who do claim to have them in stock turn out to be shipping no-name Chinese ones from...China, for delivery in August.

I think I'm going to give it a try. Seller says I can return it if it's not good. I have good experience with him.
How about a pair of these?

If you do get the NOS capacitor, make sure to re-form it, and check it carefully for leakage and value before putting it into the TV. There's instructions online for reforming capacitors. I do believe though that it is not a good use of your effort to install such an old part as a replacement, because it is unlikely to be as reliable as a new part will be
