Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Thanks Jammie.

Do you happen to have these schematics in electronic form, so I could take a look?  Or, could you take a look and see if they show a part number or other designation for the display?

Also, do have a link for these FIP panels you mentioned?

Cheers,
- Matt
