Also sometimes the picture can look a little bit grainy, if it isn't crystal clear, you can tweak the AGC delay and it should clear up. I'm pretty certain this set has vertical height and centering controls.

Think you just had bad luck. Of the 5 original CCII sets I've had 0 have needed that cap changed...
