Hi All:
I just joined the list as I'm finally about to buy a Polaris after admiring them for 30 years or so. I'm a long time Chroma owner and Quadra/Odyssey/ 2600/Solus/ Etc. owner and I'm sort of aware of what I'm getting myself into by purchasing a Polaris with left hand panel issues but otherwise very clean and mint looking.
I haven't actually played a Polaris for many years and have played several, some with panel issues and some fully functional but it looks like there are some new developments what with new panels being made and discussion groups that include much informed input so I'm hopeful that there are fixes for a sickly Polaris these days.
Thanks,
Paul T
