This is board #3, playback/bias, on a Beocord 8002. Looking at the schematic, it seems sometimes the positive and sometimes the negative end of the cap goes to signal ground, so I just want to make sure I got it correct here.

Beocord 8002: Did I get the capacitor orientation correct here?

I can’t tell from your picture but the correct orientation is marked on the board.
I realize that, it's just that on at least one of these caps, the positive goes to the solid, filled-in side of the label, whereas normally, the solid part of the label indicates negative (-).
The "solid" marking indicates ground.
That's not necessarily the capacitors negative pin because some capacitors work with negative voltages.
The best reference is what the factory fitted (though that is not always guaranteed to be correct either).
