Step 7: Add all the aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These are polarized and it is very
important that you have the positive and negative ends correctly oriented. Follow the diagram
above. The negative end of your aluminum electrolytic capacitors will have a black stripe
down one side and the lead will be the shorter of the two. The positive end will have the
longer lead. In positions C1, C6, C13, and C15, be sure to insert the positive end of the
electrolytic capacitors into the eyelets marked with a
symbol in the diagram above. Note
that C6 and C13 each have an extra eyelet. This is to accomodate a variety of capacitors
sizes. The double eyelets on C6 and C13 are also the
eyelets.
