Would there be enough demand for an electronics manufacturer to make a
run of replacement switch panels for the polaris? Membrane switches
are basically cheap, thats probably why they were used rather than
better components. These could be sold with a set of replacement
ribbon cables, would this be lucrative for some small elec
manufacturer to invest in? How many bad polarises are there, and do
they ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS? They are mostly just thin pieces of
plastic and a little metal. The technolgy is not complicated compared
to the true innards of the polaris. but the configuration would have
to match. Any comments? am I nuts?
