Anti Jailbar capacitors for Toast Rack Spectrum 128

Anti-Jailbar capacitors for Toastrack Spectrum 128

It has been found that replacing C7 and C8 with 1uf ceramic capacitors and the 22uf electrolytic cap at C28 with a 47uf version often reduces the jailbar effect on the "toastrack" Spectrum 128. This kit contains all three caps. More info can be found here.
