Nice looking unit, but I recognize the head. I have several (half a 
dozen?) of them in the 6 inch size and the intermittent display, on a 
segment by segment basis doesn't make it worth even that paltry sum. 
I've taken them apart and braced up the conductive elastomeric strip 
that drives the display, and had it fail again 3 days later several 
times.  Too much give in that plastic housing, combined with a pcb thats 
at best 1/64th" thick & about half as many screws as needed to do it 
right.

I thank you for looking it up, Andy, but until they replace that plastic 
with a die casting, they will not sell me one of those.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
