I second the (-) mark notion that you were thinking, because most electrolytic capacitors I've ever seen (with a few rare occasions) almost always have the negative polarity marked on them and the positive polarity unmarked.

I had my way with a Channel Master model 6515 a few years back. 10 capacitors and it plays like a champ!

Forgot to mention: The original capacitors in mine had black dots but, as I remember, the "+" was also well marked on top.
