Yes, and I think that's exactly what I'd do in your shoes. Just swap the old power supply electrolytics with new poly caps and call it good.

The can should be marked showing what lead goes to what internal cap.

Hello. I recapped this set all but one. It is a cap with wire wrap around it. It is not a resistor. Any ideals what it is. First time

Yes, that's a small value inductor. Is it open? if not, it is fine.
