Going to dredge this back up. Anyone have a source for these 8x8 LED blocks (where they aren't $7 each)? I need a few to repair a couple displays.

8 x 8 dot matrix LED display block 1.9 mm 8 x 8 red common cathode 20 x 20mm, 16 pin

This is what I've found so far:

Anyone used these?

I think the link above is wrong as the blocks are common cathode. Previous reports are that they should be common anode.

Quoted from HHaase:I get mine from e-bay, 50 pieces at a time, for around a buck each.

All the info I've found is that they are common cathode.

I saw comments from people saying that replacements they bought were different colors or brightness than the factory Stern displays. Are the ones you use a good match? A link to a suitable replacement would be appreciated.

Quoted from Kawydud:

Had to fix a Ghost Busters display quick, got some of these from Jameco

Thanks for this, I'd basically given up after several unsuccessful attempts at finding a replacement a couple years ago. I've been scavenging blocks off an donor display.
