Here's a pic of the one end of the cap. I shouldn't say that it's *not* marked for polarity, because it clearly *is*, but it's not so clear. I had to take this picture 5 times and then enhance it to try to get it so that you could see. There's just a "+" carved in the solder, and it's so light that it's hard to tell it's even there. It's not even really visible on the other end of the cap. Other than the values stamped into the side of the cap, it's otherwise unmarked.

Second pic is the new caps installed where the old one was.
