All components are individually bagged and labeled with their circuit reference numbers and each kit comes with a component location guide.
What are Polymer Capacitors and why are they more expensive: They are electrolytic capacitors with a solid-state electrolyte rather than a liquid electrolyte. The original capacitors fitted are prone to failure as they are a liquid state. By fitting a solid-state polymer electrolyte eliminates the risk of failure from leaking or drying out.
