The thing you are calling a disk cap looks like the degaussing thermistor to me. It looks like on of the leads separated? they do exactly that when they fail. The set will usually work without that but the purity will never be right. Those are an easy find from Moyers.
I would replace that filter with another 100 at 450 in the same fashion if it were my set. The thing was working so no reason to risk screwing it up.

Power supply filter caps... Not the same as electrolytic cans, right? I'd rather not replace it like that, and wire it under the chassis. (it's already out, lol) The other end of the cap is soldered to the terminal strip that has RGB wires running to the CRT. The particular terminal simply connects to the chassis through a soldered rivet.
I have a pretty good local electronic supplier... I could ask for the thermistor if you can tell me an electrical rating...?
