Are these non-polarized caps? Maybe a polarized one is backwards or

Have you ever seen a 0.050uF polarised cap ?????

But the problem is we don't really know what he did.

He mentions those capacitors because he couldn't get the exact
value, but he said he recapped the receiver. That implies he
changed all the capacitors.

It would have helped if he'd said why he did the recapping. Because
there was an existing problem, and he hoped it would fix it? Because
he wanted to "improve the sound"? Because he figures they are old
enough that they ought to be replaced?

From what he's said, we don't really know if the problem is due
to the recapping, or existed before.
