Display repair: I had one dodgey display that needed a new glass. I ordered a couple of glasses that arrived on Friday (yesterday), so I got stuck into replacing the glass.

1st pic shows the display in question. 2nd pic, the new and old glass on the bench. I desoldered the old glass and fitted the new one then tested the display on my test jig. The display function lets me test all of the inputs to the display. It advances the digits 0 thru 9, and I have switches for the latch, strobe and blanking inputs so I can fully test the display.

Hard to believe that this is the same machine fantastic job
Where did you buy the new display glasses from and were they expensive ?
I have four that either need repairing or replacing.
Cheers
