I've got a cap kit for my Firepower sound and speech board, and I've got a question:  How do you figure out the positive lead on a cap that doesn't have it labeled?
Mine look like this:

and I've only ever used the type in arcade monitors, where the longer lead is positive.  Does the arrow on these caps point to negative?
Thanks,
Daniel

Yes. The little dash inside the arrows is a negative " - " symbol.
