I just remember them being polarized capacitors. While i was in there i randomly measured a few in circuit and they seamed fine. Some have said they are unreliable and start to fail horribly with age. But there are so many of them in there that i don't really want to recap the whole thing unless they do start to go bad.
Do you need to replace these with genuine parts? Wouldn't a modern electrolytic do just fine?

I don't think that the colported problems apply to the hermetic ones. If the lead goes though a little glass bead, the should be ok if they measure ok.
