Pinbits seems to be out of stock. Anyone know where to find another one?
Hey - I've never tried this on a DMD before, and I may well be talking out of my ass, but... could Rubylith be helpful? It's very red flexy plastic stuff, originally used in the print industry, but these days mostly astronomers use it, to preserve their night vision when using laptop-controlled telescopes. You can get it pretty cheap on eBay (like, a fiver or so). I gave some to a friend to put over her phone, so she can read on her phone at night without triggering insomnia (light of wavelengths under 450nm (basically anything that isn't red) tells your body it's daytime, inhibiting melatonin production and messing up your sleep cycle).
Here's a good post from a guy using it to red-out his phone: http://prussastro.blogspot.com/2011/01/advanced-rubylith-uses.html
It works really well for blocking out non-red light from a phone or laptop screen, so... maaaaaybe it'd work on a DMD? I figure for a fiver it'd be worth trying.

Give them a call they may actually have them, if not they'll cut more and add them to the site.
Thanks for the suggestions guys
I ended up finding something that worked at Marcos. It is for a Gottlieb but it fit perfect and only cost $4.85. And it is just like Rubylith only it doesn't separate from the clear sheet. I used that stuff in art in college.

For that price, there is no reason that any Terminator should be orange..... unless you wanted it I guess.
