Hi Ron,

Thanks for the correction on the title.  This is my first attempt on the forum.  "What do I know" ?

Anyway, yes, I did check for the correct polarity/hookup for the electrolytic's.  I actually tried reversing the hook up of one of the electrolytic's and the radio went silent and the electrolytic started heating up which is a sign that it is installed backwards.  Of course, I did this with only one electrolytic at a time.  I didn't try installing all three of them all together with the reversed/same polarity.  Do you think I should do this - I'd hate to fry 3 good electrolytic's ????

Thank you for your help.

Bill
