the picture of my motorola xm501 (displaying grand trak 10) is too bright and distorted - adjusting the screen didn't make it much better 
that's why i've decided to do a cap kit first to see if it solves the problem. the kit from bob roberts includes 9 capacitors, 7 of which go on the circuit board. however, i was only able to find 6 of those capacitors, the one labeled C16 on the pcb (which is supposed to be 1μf 15V cap) doesn't look like a capacitor to me at all. have a look at the following picture, i've marked it with an arrow. is that a capacitor? if not, where's the real C16?
on the picture you can also find the 6 other capacitors (which need to be replaced) marked with green PLUS there are more capacitors on that board which i marked in red.
question: do i have to replace those capacitors as well (after all, they weren't included in the cap kit from BR)? what do you think? replace 'em or leave 'em?
