I found ones for sale on MPC stuff but I assume these are off the shelf components. Since LCD screens are cheap for Auduinos and other similar products I just need to know the dimensions of the replacement screen - I assume it's a simple ribbon connection for it and non proprietary Pinout for it. If anyone can help me with the correct sizes I will post sources for the displays and hope to find the replacements in both standard green as well as blue or other colors as well. I imagine the displays should be no more then 30 bucks or so based of the cost of the ones for AVRs and SBCs. I have a few full colored ones with a ribbon connection but have no idea what the fonts would look like or if it would be legible as well as a different size LCD I can drop in and try but the screen is larger and would have to make a new mounting bracket for it. I have a hard time dropping 150 on a display for a unit that's only worth 550 especially when only a few lines are missing and imagine locating a source would be simple. Once I crack this bad boy open and get a better look at what's inside I will also post replacement parts to improve the sonic performance of it. Anyone interested in hot Rodding the 2k and 2kxl stay tuned to this thread. I plan on upgrading the opamps first and caps and imagine it would be worth the efforts. Anyone ever play with the internals?
