I was working on a low-cost DIY display design just like this for my Comet, but ran out of time and ended up getting xpin displays. You put this out with boards and everything. Very nice work! Great idea making a kit.

I've seen tons of inexpensive numeric LED displays on eBay and whatnot (that is where I got mine from), but couldn't easily track down Alpha-numeric ones. Have you been able to source those?

Quoted from Wolffdp:

BY the way, I have been considering selling a 7 digit version of the display kit but sourcing LEDs with the comma is a problem unless I want to go semi-custom from China. Wondering whether people would be interested in a display that only had a decimal point instead of the comma?

I'd imagine anyone dropping DIY LED displays into their games cares more about function over form. At least I wouldn't care about a dot vs a comma.

Quoted from CactusJack:

I thought on the 7 Digit Displays, it was a function of the "spacing" not just the comma to fit off the shelf digits into the window of the backglass. Which is why others have had to have custom LED digits made.

The ones I picked up on eBay for the Comet DIY LED display project I never finished seemed to be the right width.
