Rookie question General Electric KL-500
#1

        I’m a rookie  working on a General Electric KL-500.  I only have one electrolytic on this radio but it contains 3 sections. C-23 20mfd, C-24 10 mfd and C-16 20 mfd. My ability at this time to properly read schematics unfortunately is limited so I am appealing to the forum for some assistance with where the + and - connections go for the new caps. Photo enclosed of the electrolytic and a screenshot of the schematic as well. 

I assume that the + for C-16 goes to where the yellow wire currently is and the + connections for C-23 and C-24 go to the where the three red wires currently are but I want to ensure I ground this electrolytic properly. Where would I ground these caps if I’m going to place all the new caps under the chassis. If I am wrong with my assumptions for the + connections please let me know where they should go.

I realize this is a basic question but I don’t what the mess up the polarity.
