This kit is for those A80 / A81 machines that have plug in removable audio boards in the main machine cabinet below the tape deck. This kit is not for multi track models that have audio boards in the top meter bridge console (see other listing).
This kit is suitable for 1/4 and 1/2" 1 or 2 track machines and contains all appropriate polar capacitors that are now in advanced old age and should be replaced.
