I did think that they could be the much-fabled Mustard caps (desirable in much vintage audio), but I have seen similar looking caps go virtually short in valve gear, so automatically leaned on the side of caution.
Craig makes a good point re: electrolytics. More reason to use a variac when turning it on, unless you plan to shotgun re-cap them (which could irk some around here!).
I haven't encountered a ceramic cart since my age was in single figures. Am I right in thinking it most likely is for ceramic?
