I've never run into a Maggie with the 4-legged "safety" cap (ala Zenith), but have heard of them. If it's original, and is the white tubular with axial leads, it absolutely should be replaced.
In Zeniths, when that cap fails, the HV soars to around 50KV, and often cuts the neck right offa the CRT slick as a whistle.
