Vintage Pioneer Recap Assist

Hi,

I recently picked up a pair of vintage Pioneer S-X707V speakers. Looks like they were made in Japan in the 80s ‌(specs and a photo are attached).

So I guess a recap is overdue? A photo of the crossover has been attached.

First, can you tell, by looking at it, if the previous owner hasn't done that already?
Second, I'm trying to identify the capacitors that need replacement. Since this is a 3 way speaker, am I supposed to find 3?

I see one at the top in black that reads "NIPPON CHEMI-CON CE04P 63v 1uf (K)".
What else is there? Is that brown/orange thing a capacitor? If yes, what I should I replace it with?
Are there other capacitor that I'm missing?

Yes it is, no change necessary it's a film cap.

Rest of the junk on the board are inductors and resistor. The black box might be a resettable fuse thing of some sort.

Just change the black cap, get a non-polar/bi-polar.
 
You could also use a film cap if the black cap is 1uF like you said. Most people consider them superior to electrolytics and 1uF film caps are affordable
