Help!! Greg Smith Dist says the company that built the Atlas WB32 is kaput and I need some advice. No parts avail and they are no help.

All that is wrong is the power switch is out, but the problem is that is this thin ribbon type stick on crap.

Any ideas if anything else used this panel or any other companies branded this balancer that might have parts in stock?

Odds are you are SOL. Those things are cheap and easy to make so most companies use their own.
If it is just the start button you can actually cut the cover off with an exacto knife. You can trace the leads back to where they are broken. You can either put a drop of solder on it or solder in a new button. If more then one button doesn't work a trace is broken somewhere else. Its still possible to do the same thing, but it becomes an almost impossible task to track down the right lead.

cut the button off and solder some leads to it then just put a push button momentary switch on it.
ghetto indeed.
