Hey thanks. 

I got it from mouser.com. Digikey has it too. Just search the part number below at either. If you can't find it let me know. 

That's my post with the emax pinout on the sp1200 forum. I wanted to spread the word in case someone finds themselves in the same quandary as I.

It is bright and beautiful!  it's going to be so much easier to use my EMAX now.  The display area is a little smaller than the EMAX original LCD, shorter across horizontally than the original, but not in a bad way, like this.
