On “MrBungle”; The character bungle was on children’s TV programme Rainbow in the 70s. He was a mostly incompetent bear who managed to wallpaper over a door at one point and was generally quite a grumpy character. I got the nick name in real life a number of years ago from my other half after getting grumpy over putting way too much of a scientific effort into installing a carpet and ending up with a rug instead
I’m not so sure about those LCDs being impossible to replace. You can get basic plain LCD modules these days with that right number of digits. I’m sure some work in a PCB CAD package may end up with a fruitful replacement. One of the good things about the 2019A is there isn’t much that isn’t replaceable!
