Rhodes Chroma Polaris

If you need it serviced, I have good success doing a retro mod to fix
the bad ribbon in these.  If a person is very careful and
electromechanically savvy they can probably pull it off.  But I'm in
Montana and fedex only costs 20 some bucks just to send it.  I can
usually do the work and reship it so you are out a total of 100 bucks
or something close.  If it's all turned to dust we might have to pull
it all out and hardwire stuff which is a little more. -Bob
