Considering how many Polarii there are, and the typical failure mode,
I'm surprised that someone like ChipForBrains/Technology Transplant
hasn't bothered to make a replacement overlay. They made a small panel
for the Prophet-600 and the Moog Source (if memory serves), and there
are oodles of companies out there who could make the panel:

http://www.printecelectronics.com/products.html

I'm sure it wouldn't be that cheap for low volume - but I think if mine
finally breaks for good, I might consider it. A Polaris with a
self-illuminated panel (http://www.lumitex.com/membrane_switches.html)
would be pretty unique.
