Jim,
These are non-polarized (or bi-polar) electrolytics. An example is the following digikey
part number: 493-12697-3-ND
You can always whip one up out of your junk box - just put 2 normal (polarized)
electrolytic in series with the polarities alternating (for example, connect the two
positives together). Each capacitor has to be twice the value of the result - so for
example, to replace a 1uF 50v non-polarized, you can put two 2uF in series.
Hope this helps.

Since I acquired a Coco Orchestra 90 unit awhile back, and I am trying to find the source
of some humming in my system when the Orch 90 unit is operational, I looked at the
schematic:

(page 109 of the PDF)
I understand the ROM, the resistor ladders, and the latches, but analog is not my strong
suit. I made my way through the op-amp design, but I am stumped on one component
(actually three)?
C7,C9, and C10
They look like electrolytic polarized caps, but are NP (non polarized), with no
'+' on the schematic.
Can someone shed light on what these are and where you would find them (or if they can
safely be replaced with another kind of capacitor)? I will admit I've never seen
mention of these before now.
Are they "bipolar"?

Or, are they called something else now?
