Hi John

Correct, electrolytic (123), 10 uF 50 volts, has its POSITIVE lead connected to ground; NEGATIVE to B-.

Looks to me like you are doing a great job with that chassis...interesting way of getting the guts out of those electrolytic cans. I'll have to try that sometime. Digging out the innards of a dry electrolytic is a pain in the behind, for certain.
