This cap in the Westinghouse is actually a noise suppresion capacitor, not a line to chassis isolation cap...the power line connects directly to the chassis and is not isolated with a cap as many sets of this era are. A safety rated cap would be good to help guard against a short on the filament line though. Also I would install a fuse in the hot lead of the powerline for extra protection, like a 1/2 amp.
Watch out for the volume, tuning and switch shafts and chassis screws as they may connect directly to the hot chassis with no isolation.
