rumored replacement membrane switch panels

rumored replacement membrane switch panels

2010-07-10 by wasteking1

back in december it was posted here that new replacement Polaris switch panels were being manufactured---
any updates on this?
(I'm certainly down for one or two sets}
Do you need upfront deposits to finance the project?

I put in for several quotes on the project from suppliers around here (Los
Angeles) a month and a half ago, and heard back from no one. Right now, I'm
on vacation, but when I get back, I'll see if I can light a fire under them.
Sorry this is slow, but this is a hobby project, not my real job, so it's
second to everything else. But the artwork has been done for a long time, I
have packaging figured out, and someone to do fulfillment. All I need is
someone to make the damn things.

And no, I'm not asking for advance deposit. I can finance it out of my
pocket.

Hi Paul,

If you ever do manufacture new replacement membrane panels for the Chroma Polaris, I will also buy two for mine. Please keep me posted as to when, and how much it will cost...I've been hoping someone would do this for a long time!

Thanks,
~Ryan Freer

im totally psyched about this---Its been a long time coming.

I had asked Jeroen at Analog Rennaisannce about designing these switch panels (he did the Juno 106 replacement clone chips)-- but he was not too inclined because he he said would rather design IC's than switches. i would also guess he didnt own a polaris.
