I don't think you can get those 4-lead caps anymore. A few years ago, I had a 19"
T809 come in with a shorted saftey cap and I replaced it with a regular HV orange drop cap. I've also seen the ends blow off of them. When that happens, you'd better hope the internal interlock connection inside the cap breaks open or the HV will skyrocket and blow the neck off the CRT.

If I find another Magnavox with that cap, it will be replaced even if it still functions.
