Forat or VST are usually your best bets.

@csmealer

thx for all your answers regards to my f+cking display problems.
have done a lot of searching, also contacted forat (very nice person but for me too expensive...)

i have found a lot about this display serie and i am thinking about some solutions they are not too expensive...

one of them is:
to replace the whole display with this ones:

it seems to be the same display serie like the mpc60:
switchable, 320 characters (8x40) and looks like the same size (havent found the size details until now...)

they are very cheap on ebay (about 30,- euros)

what do you think???

Hmmm...I don't know how specialized the display for the 60 is, so that might work, but you might not have the same power and data cables which would be a big problem.
If it's only the plastic cover w/ metal clips that you need, you could contact the seller and ask if the machine he's selling has the same part, or maybe even get him to take a picture of the display so you can see if it includes the part you need.
It seems like you might be able to find a machine similar to the ones in the link you posted at a thrift store or a flea market too. Probably for less than 30 euros, and you could compare it in person.
Good luck.
