Some time ago I found a replacement for the motor run caps for a TU-56. They
are definitely motor run caps that you need. The replacements are slightly
offsize and require a different mounting bracket.
These caps are $140 each as I recall, perhaps $70 - because I can't remember
if the price I got was for one or two. I am however, quite sure they are the
correct replacement for the motor run caps in the TU-56.
If you haven't found the replacements, let me know and I'll dig up the
info - supplier, cost, etc.

I beleive these are non-polarised electrolytics....
Certainly are. Sanyo TV's have a couple that frequently fail and need
replacement.
You *can* cobble one up by joining two conventional electros of the same
value cathode to cathode which makes a single non polarised electro with
half the value of the sum of the two. (Caps in series)
Sure. I believe that's how some (all?) non-polarised electrolytic
capacitors are made. But you want the 2 halves to be closely matched --
possible if you're making them together (i.e. you're the manufacturer
making a non-polarised electrolytic), but not so likely if you're just
connecting 2 caps in series. That's probably why the homebrew version has
a short life.
