I would say it depends on what your choices are. If you could return the Polaris
and get your money back, then buy a different one, I would say that would be a better
option, as this one has clearly been used as a parts machine. I agree that probably
there was something else wrong with it before they started removing parts, although
it may have just been that the panel stopped working.

But maybe you cannot get your money back, or maybe only half of it, due to shipping
costs? If so, then you may be stuck with the $900 total cost (plus the cap and whatever
other IC's are missing. Maybe another $10-20) Of course some of the other CEM chips
that are not missing could be bad.

$900 is not a horrible price, but you should be able to do better. The Polaris does not
get the love that it deserves...

It looks someone had a reason, that he used
this Polaris as a spare part
reservoir. It
must have stopped working, before he decided to
"bone" it.
You don't shred a
working chroma polaris. So I assume, after you will
have redone the capacitor and the CEMs and the
panel you will find, that
the CPU is not
working (or what else ever).

I have to admit: I doubt it makes sense to go
on.
