Old Muntz TV for sale Locally to me, Should I pick it up?

No non-polarized lytics are not used for filter caps in these sets (sometimes single section non-polarized were used to couple the yoke and allow centering DC to be added).

If there is a metal can under the cardboard then there were negative terminals on it's bottom (they may have snapped off when it got busted off its wafer). If there is no metal can or terminals on the cap and just wires out the bottom then there has to be a negative lead if it is a multi section cap.

You need to get the schematic and trace things out if you can't make sense of the wiring that's there.

The reason I was asking about the ground connection with this capacitor is because on the bottom of the capacitor there's only 3 terminals for the "positive" leads and then theres the twist-loc tabs that held the capacitor to the phenolic wafer that snapped off the TV chassis and one of the twist-loc tabs has some wires attached to it but I'm unsure as to whether they are ground wires or if they are just using it as a convenient terminal strip.

Like I said the Capacitor is a cardboard cased multi-section capacitor with no apparent ground connection of any sort, at least not to the chassis anyways that I can see of.

As you will see from the pictures that I took of this can cap, it has absolutely no mention on the case of having a ground of any sort, and you can even see the wiring on the capacitor that there is abolutely no ground connection on this capacitor, and that the one twist-loc tab is just being used as a terminal strip and that's it, nothing ground related.
