What is this symbol with a uF rating? Some type of capacitor?
It's an electrolytic capacitor. These are polarized, as the + sign also indicates. This is a less common symbol. Below are the more common ones, European on the left, American on the right.  

  

Compare to the symbol for a non-polarized capacitor:



Note: I think the American symbol for a non-polarized cap is a bad one; it suggests that there is some kind of asymmetry where in reality there isn't one.

edit
From the comments it appears that the supposedly American non-polarized symbol is less common than I thought. I can only speak from my experience, and like I also said in comment, it could be that I've been looking mostly at older schematics (not the tubes, I'm not that old).
I found this schematic within a minute:  

  

C2 might be an electrolytic (it won't be, will have a too low capacitance), but look at variable capacitor C1.
