Charles, I may still have one of these displays. We made a "group buy" in the 90's on this group and I participated in that. Let me see if I still have one and I'll get back to you. I have NEVER had to replace a readout (knock on wood), so I am not sure about the "90 degree header", but I remember only very stout pins soldered to these readouts and they should survive. 73, Don, WB5HAK _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist No virus found in this incoming message.
