It's not called a safety cap because it makes the set safe. It's called that because it will fail in a safe way. Regardless, that's not the across the line (safety) cap. That would be C60 - the 0.1uF cap shown next to the power switch on the schematic. It should be replaced by an X2 type capacitor.
The cap I was referring to is C61.
Have you tried adjusting the horizontal hold and range? You'll need to put a small flat bladed screwdriver down the hollow horiz. nhold shaft for the range.
