Ressurecting memb switch death

2006-08-04 by spistrich

Would there be enough demand for an electronics manufacturer to make a 
run of replacement switch panels for the polaris? Membrane switches 
are basically cheap, thats probably why they were used rather than 
better components. These could  be sold with a set of replacement 
ribbon cables, would this be lucrative for some small elec 
manufacturer to invest in? How many bad polarises are there, and do 
they ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS? They are mostly just thin pieces of 
plastic and a little metal. The technolgy is not complicated compared 
to the true innards of the polaris. but the configuration would have 
to match. Any comments? am I nuts?
