Re: polaris with bad ribbon wires for sale

2009-11-14 by wasteking1

any timeline on that new switches idea ?  ---maybe  then i wont sell the polaris--- [but i have a guy who wants it for ALL the chips  already calling me.]  the thing would be really fine if i could hook up those control panels, but now there is nothing left to try to connect to--  would the part be a whole new 'stick on' touch pad with actual WIRES coming off it?
