Re: PCB for Microchip PIC14
Nice to see it working David, I'm glad it has found a good home.
I think that display would be fine as-is if you could find a red filter the exact size of the overall display assembly - does anyone know where to find those strips of stiff red plastic filter sheet nowadays?
I know what you mean about the way the price of common or garden basic LED calculators seems to have taken off - I have a Texet 880 here, one of several I bought for no more than £3-£4 a couple of years ago with a view to it being a potential display donor but this remaining one is in such immaculate condition that I wouldn't have the heart to dismantle it for its display. The others were all damaged in some way, keys missing, overlay dented, battery cover missing and priced accordingly so I didn't feel too bad about repurposing their displays, one of which is on my issue VI replica now.
