It appears on a photofact (set141 folder6) for a similar 17" set as the standard factory location for C1. (jaunty angle and all)
C1 is the input cap for the selenium voltage doubler... power line (and fuse) connected to the negative terminal, 4.5 ohm resistor connected to the positive terminal feeding the two rectifiers. The other side of the line connects directly to the chassis, through the power switch,so be careful!

Perhaps it is not as close to the CRT as it appears in the pix?
