Bill,

The capacitors aren't really polarized, as such.  It is usually recommended 
to use the outer foil in certain applications, but it usually doesn't 
matter.  You won't hurt the cap by connecting it either way as it would if 
it were polarized.

Hi All   Well I may have done a REAL DUMB thing..........while recapping the 
IF deck with orange drop caps I had no idea that the are polarized, foil 
outside (Right)......no markings
on them...........will this mistake upset tithe IF circuit????  At least I 
have a 50/50 chance
to rework..........duh !!!

Does anyone know where J512 pin 20 (IF) is on the schematic?  It eludes me.

Best 73
