Bummer.

I don't think the place I saw that recommendation specified P-P or RMS, but yeah, a lot of capacitance anyway.
Scrounging at surplus places might work, but I'd be concerned about the shelf life of old electrolytic caps. (I wouldn't want to be around when a big old electrolytic shorted out in this kind of supply either.) I'd be concerned about the ripple current rating of the cap too. It might be difficult to find that information on an older cap.
