Help identifying dead electro. cap polarity?

How is it wired in the circuit? When in doubt, this is what I look at. You can also substitute it with an AC rated cap and just measure the voltage across it to find out which way around it should be.

For modern capacitors, yes, *BUT* there were some chassis-mounted caps with POSITIVE (outside) cans/cases.

The Germans (and those in many other Continental European countries) certainly do that when WRITING the number 7. However, I can't recall ever seeing it on a PRINTED 7. This is (of course) because they start writing a 1 (one) with a long slanted up-stroke, followed by a vertical down-stroke. As such, it's not unlike an 'artistically' written 7. The addition of a horizontal stroke through the vertical down-stroke of the

Most non-Europeans write a 1 (one) as a single vertical down-stroke, so there is no possibility of confusion between a 1 and a 7. However, if you decide to embellish a 1 with the short slanted up-stroke at the top and the foot at the bottom, you have to be careful that it cannot be confused with a 2.
