Another option (if brand new is off the table) is to pull the cap you need out of a newer device. Every modern switch mode power supply from your phone charger up to the 1kW PSU in your desktop directly rectifies the line AC and filteres it with one or two 20-1000uF caps with a DC voltage rating higher than the AC line voltage.
Analog SDTV era TIVO boxes usually have a 330uF 200V cap in them here in the US...not an ideal solution but if you have access to ewaste and or cheap used modern electronics to part out it is an option....
I used to use a good bit of used parts back in college and I'm still not above the practice under certain circumstances.
