The 4 lead safety cap is located under or behind the HOT heatsink, IIRC.

You definitely want to replace this, because if it opens, the HV can rise high enough to potentially damage the CRT, flyback, or the replacement tripler. The HV can actually punch through the tube neck, and arc to ground through the yoke windings, cutting the neck right off in the process.
