Not impossible to find, though I only got one hit on the net googling
that value. They are about 3 inches long, 3/4inch round. The same shop
that had the neon light power supplies had the caps. It just wasn't the
first place I looked.

There's a lot of odd stuff around, although it's not always easy to find:

1600V caps are pretty common, although I suppose the ESR might get too high
in a series string.
