During my search for displays I�ve found this some time ago:
Futaba M40SD04GR,- 40 digits in a row, but 5x7 dot matrix
I�m not a tech, so I don�tknow if it�s usable or not or if it�s worth to think about any tweaks/mods ...
I also never removed a display from my Xpander, so I�m not able to check the dimensions exactly,- maybe we have more experienced people here in the group ...

There a several surplus electronics store where I live.
If someone can get more specific info (Mfgr, model, part #) regarding
the cash registers, I will see if I can find some
at these stores.
Also- companies who serviced old cash registers may be a good source too
