Re: [neonixie-l] Flip Dot panels for sale

I'm quite sure he's using Alfazeta flip dots in the project. Btw Alfazeta 
also makes 7 segment magnetic displays.

Re: [neonixie-l] Flip Dot panels for sale

[Martin Černý]

For whatever reason, some of my replies don't seem to register or maybe I'm 
doing something wrong.

This display is made by czech company BUSE. These are used panels from 
public transport and were mainly used in Czech Republic and neighbouring 
countries. There's plenty companies who used to make similar flip dots like 
Hanover. Alfazeta makes new flip dots but they are pricey.

Re: [neonixie-l] Flip Dot panels for sale

[Martin Černý]

Those are industrial displays made for public transport by czech company 
BUSE. They can be found all round central Europe. Alfazeta makes new flip 
dots (non-led) but those are very pricey.

I was more curious about flip-dot panels WITH the LEDs.  I don't see that
at the kickstarter.   I have a flip-dot clock now.

These particular ones? Not a chance. But there must've been some flip dots 
used in public transport in the US, probably still are. So your best bet is 
to check out scrap yards and such.
