Highly probable: If there is a circuit it should be on it.

If you unhide your email address via Control Panel I'll send you the schematic and notes.

The only 150uμF I see is C33 on the pickup circuit.

Definetely a MICA . Dont worry about changing it. They are usually ok.

OK depends on how well the solder takes? Iffy, is what I would call it: Here it would be replaced.

I'm with Marcc, I replace them every time. In the words of Warwick Woods, AVRS President " The failure mode only occurs when one side of the capacitor is connected to a high voltage and the other to a low potential point or ground. As a general rule they need to be treated with suspicion and, to be on the safe side, replaced." https://www.justradios.com/captips.html
