The same fella/company (chipforbrains/technologytransplant) also has panels 
for the Sequential
Prophet-600, and I'd have to guestimate that the number of Polarii around 
would be on-par with something like that.  (I've ever really seen a shortage 
of the Polaris keyboards - the don't match the quantities of something like 
the Yamaha DX-7, but you always seem to be able to find one, if needed).

I'm a little surprised that with the huge number of companies that will make 
custom membrane switch panels that no one has decided to try to make one for 
the Polaris (if even only for their own personal use) (sure, some of these 
can do fancy things - like have built-in LEDs which will be very expensive 
or be waterproof to 10 atmospheres - but others do what are essentially 
plain-jane panels).
