Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Hi, Polaris People.

  Just joined this group: good to be part of it. 

  Was an owner of a new Polaris, 1988--and was talked (reluctantly!) into selling it when I  moved far away. Had been lusting for a Polaris; and finally snagged one (used) from an Auction site. Problem: the whole left side has non-functioning/frozen membrane buttons/sliders--including the 'All tune' function. (No, the auction seller never even HINTED at these problems: arghh....) So, the thing's a little out of tune; and without 'all tune', looks like it might STAY that way....

  The buttons/sliders not working might not bother me too much if I can tune & proigram using Sound Quest (the MIDI editor/librarian)...but gosh darn, would like to be able to push membrane switches & sliders on the left side.

  Any suggestions--esp., re: tuning via remote access/Sound Quest--would be most welcome. I'd love for this Polaris to 'sing'!
