Yesterday I ordered two blue oled displays on Ebay from a guy in England.. He says he will throw in 2 sets of two seven segment number displays. Each 7 segment display (one for each number) is approx. 1 cm wide and 1.4 cm tall.

Here is how he explains it:

"Here we go, check this out. Blue ssd's fitted in a vs keyboard so its obviously possible. I think a kingbright sc56 type will work, they come in all different colours including blue, i did notice though, the blue ones are considerably more expensive than any other colour. still cheap though@ around a dollar 50 cents a piece."

"They come individually so the width is half 2cm.the size should be around 1cm wide, 1.4cm tall. That is the size of the seven segments not the case it's in. That's how they are measured. Have a word on your forum +see if they are the standard, lil 10 pin push in type. They cost a buck each, so i can throw them in for free with the oleds when i ship them to everyone in future."

So my question is does anyone know whether the number display of the VS uses the "standard" 10 pin push in type? Also he uses the letters" lil" after the word standard. Is it an acronym for a 3 word phrase?

Also he has one of these oled displays left for sale. I am going to post a picture of what the VS looks like with the new oled display in our files section. One caveat is that replacing the old lcd requires desoldering it from tthe circuit board and soldering in the new one in its place.

Hi Berada-

 

I have allowed the photos of your VS display mods to be posted in the Prophet VS group's photo section.  Thanks for submitting these.  Your VS looks great

I've done these mods to my VS's. OLED replaced the LCD, blue dual 7 segment and blue LED's all over. I'm trying to post photos, but Yahoo is defeating me..... The OLED display board was smaller externally than the LCD, so some jigging was required. The Blue dual 7 segment display was incredibly bright and I had to use higher valued resistors to pull down the brightness. Similarly, the blue LED's I used to replace the red needed much higher valued resistors to pull the brightness down something less than retinal burn. :D
