Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Hello CP friends,

THE GOOD:
I have just received a new CP!

Is new from the box! not a single scratch.


THE BAD:
suffers DBPS (dead bilateral panel syndrome), but aggravated by SACSTR
(somebody
already cut short the ribbons (3 out of 4).

but is so beautiful, I'm going to create an external switching
system...


THE UGLY
Is a model "2121"!? I was thinking there were only 2123 and 2123b...

and the serial number is low low low -> "100036", seems to be a first
 first serie.

All voices are working, and changing sounds via midi is working too..

thank you

I think that the Polaris may have used a similar numbering convention as the 
Rhodes Chroma.  Specifically, the first three digits (212) designated that 
it was a Polaris, and the third number signified the 'market' that the unit 
was produced for (North American, European, Japanese, Australian).  {Check

I hope you enjoy your new keyboard.

All the best,
