Sean I’ve replaced/installed hundreds of electrolytic
caps in my technician days, and never saw an unmarked
polarity.
Look them over carefully for the +/-, or the black
stripe.
Maximum smoke if they’re backwards, and the smell is
awful.

Jealous of all the lucky new owners, as usual. A couple months ago I could
have picked up a Leslie branded organ with 122 unit, but was flat broke. :(
Would love to pick up a Hammond or better yet, a Mellotron. I don't think there
are any left undiscovered in California, certainly not the Central Valley, but I
keep scouring anyway.
In other news I've nearly re-capped the power
supply on my Conn spinet. I'm pretty sure I wired two electrolytics backward and
am trying to figure that out before I plug it in. Waiting on a few more caps to
ship to me, then it lives!
