Default Re: Dansette Electrolytic Capacitors

Hi again. I have had the capacitors arrive; the 22uf 450v was quite large in size so I ordered some 22uf 25v as there was not going to be adequate space to mount the three. There are 6 holes on the circuit board where the old can has been removed and I have worked out which caps go to which hole (as the original can was marked triangle/square/dash to represent the values) but my question is do these capacitors have a positive and negative or can they be fitted either way round? If they have to be fitted the correct way am I right in assuming the outside pins of the original can are negative (as original can is marked "can negative"). With the new caps one 'end' is longer than the other but there are no apparent + or - symbols. Can anyone help? Thanks. John
