Cap is definitely not backwards, and the board is not mismarked. The negative lead of the cap is connected to the ground trace.
BC, I hadn't thought about the 150 ohm wirewound being shorted. A carbon resistor can't short, but a wirewound sure could. I pulled a 150 ohm WW resistor out of an 858SSb parts board. Checked right on 150 ohms. I will change out the one in my base radio tomorrow. Crossing my fingers.
