SELMER Super Action 80 (1981-1986)

Selmer Paris introduced the Super Action 80 series in 1980, with full production on the new model coming in 1981. In their official releases, they made sure to announce that the horn was more similar to the Mark VI than the VII. All saxophone lines were transitioned to the new series, so we finally see all sizes from sopranino to bass in the new model. The first Super Action 80 was a bari sax (possibly a prototype) at # 311986, followed by alto # 312185, tenor # 314433, and then more bari's and sopranos at 319xxx. Again, there was a transition period, with Mark VII altos and tenors still shipping will into the 318xxx range.
