Well, I slightly cheated and got a stock red LCD from a C and installed
it! I have the old yellow/green LCD here and will take some pics when
I unearth it from the junk pile.

I suspect it should if the controller is the same and the mounting 
holes on the PCB are compatible. I had to do some minor surgery to 
get the C one into my B. Once I've posted the pics, decide for 
yourself! I do remember reading somewhere (might even have been
colin) that for some designs you need to decouple the power supply
to the [OP]LED displays, but thats pretty trivial to do if required.

> do you have any pics of virus guts? 
Sadly not ; my camera was toast when I did it last year, hence the 
shitty camera-phone pics in that article. To be honest though, they're 
not that exciting! A CPU board and a button/knob board, and the LCD 
bolted onto the metalwork....

Mmmm. I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions, and getting
some ideas for my project....!
