Help with two Mac issues

I have an original Mac, later upgraded to a Mac Plus. Just recently it's developed two issues. First, a capacitor has burned out. It is C38. Does anyone know what this is and point me in the direction of finding a replacement?

Second, the Mac seems to work fine - it appears to boot properly. However, all I'm getting on the screen is a horizontal line across the center of the screen. Poking around the internet, I found that this occurs when the "vertical i.c." goes out or needs to be resoldered. Anyone know what I need to replace to fix that issue? Thanks.

You might find the Compact Mac Repair Guide of some use in debugging your classic. It's among the Stickies, above.
