If they are made to the original specs, they'll work.

1000 pieces may be difficult to sell at once. I would guess that a few hundred could be easily 
sold to repair offices around the world. AND, I would certainly not want some of them to buy 
all the new displays, because then the problem would be the same as it is now with that New 
Your office. I would probably buy some 100 by myself.

During the years you could probably sell an other 100 pieces through éBay. So, my guess is 
that 1000 is too much to be sold for Xpanders and Matrix-12s alone, for ever. But, it is just a 
guess. Manufacturing them would ofcourse solve the most difficult problem with these 
Oberheims. Then the same should be done to CEM3374s.

I wonder if Dave Smith would be interested of our effort, because I have understood that he 
is custom manufacturing similar type of components for Prophet´08 already! Could anybody 
ask him. Also John Bowen is currenly designing the Solaris synthesizer, where similar-
looking displays will be used. I'll ask him if he would find any synergy here.

Custom-made displays was a very good idea!
