Inquiry about replacement membrane panels

Inquiry about replacement membrane panels

2013-04-06 by ohsnaprecords

Hi Paul,

I'm in the process of repairing a fixer-upper Chroma Polaris II that I recently purchased and was hoping to get a price estimate for you for a replacement membrane panel (left side specifically). As expected, the ribbons are super cracked. I saw some examples of the reproduction you had made, and it looks incredible! Thanks for helping keep these machines alive.

I make a music influenced by 70s progressive-rock and am looking forward to integrating the Chroma Polaris once fully functional. It's a great sounding synth and should be even better when all the buttons work!

Thanks,
Tyler Gorman

I sell them as a pair for $180, plus shipping, and I accept payment via
PayPal. Insured Priority Mail to Northampton is $12.93. As soon as I receive
$192.93 via PayPal, at the same address as this e-mail, I'll ship you one
set of replacement Polaris membrane switch panels within one business day.
It typically takes three business days in transit.

Just like to say I ordered a set last year and they work great.
Thanks Paul for having these panels made allowing the C P to continue onwards.
