Fender Chroma Polaris ribbon repair! PERMANENT! Tech run through.
YouTube Uploaded by sounddoctorin on Mar 29, 2011
"Bob Weigel of http://www.sounddoctorin.com shares the discovery of a wonderful process for what appears to be a permanent repair of the ribbon issue with the Chroma Polaris' front panel. Typically ozone etc. causes these to degrade over time and I just did one that was quite brittle on the middle connector..particularly the smaller one. The Dura Tuff product from Eclectic products is used to create a new plastic surface and protect what is left of the old ribbons and if they are still conducting hopefully they will continue to after it dries and they are reconnected! NOTICE I CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYONE'S SUCCESS and I PROBABLY am the only person on the planet to have repaired as many CP's as I have with 100% success so far. This is a risky and tricky process requiring great care. The slightest slip could crack a ribbon so far back that it destroys the front panel! There are no replacements available so be careful!!
Further I suspect that people with cracking buttons could also use the dura tuff to coat them to prevent further degradation. The material will form a plastic layer basically that remains somewhat flexible I believe indefinitely but is very very tough!
We also show the basic chip layouts and so on."
