Hi folks,

A little backstory: My father has been working in the comm tech industry for a long time now. He also happens to hoard electronic junk like myself.

I think it payed off for me!

Vintage Bubble strip!!!!! Awesome BUS traces! ŭeeeeahh.

I want to try and get some symbols/digits to display on the bubble strip. Its not a TI exactra, but close enough for me!

I can't wait to implement them.

thanks for looking!

I thought so. I always remembered playing with a red digit
calculator. I tested out some of the led's with my Multimeter. I should be able to make some animation/PLI with it. It'd be a shame just to rip the lens part off for a static peice.

There are also removable digital dispay LED's which would be good for an ammo counter. The ladder LED's might be a bit bulky for saber building however.
