Help needed - orientation for LED and capacitor
I'm building a 264 Cartridge for the Commodore 16, 116, and Plus 4 computers. I bought it from ebay, and I thought it was already built. But it came as a DIY kit, which is fine except that it came without schematics for the two components that are not obvious to me as far as their orientation. The LED and the capacitor. Neither locations on the PCB have marking to indicate their orientation. Please see the attached photos.

The capacitor is at location C1, and it has the marking of 104. The mounting holes on the PCB are vertical. But I can't tell which was the 104 should be facing when installed. Should it face the socket/chip, or the other way?

The LED is located at the upper right corner of the PCB. The mounting holes are vertical on the PCB. Again, no markings for orientation on the PCB.

If it's of any assistance to you, the capacitor has a trace leading from the top connecting point down to the left most resistor legs below the capacitor mounting location. For the LED, there's a trace leading from the top most mounting hole for the LED to the right most leg of the nearby resistor.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!
