[sci.electronics] seeking a low cost/surplus LCD display

gary@brb.isnet.inmos.co.uk (11/13/90)

Could anyone who has been to ACE Components on Kifer (?) in Santa Clara
let me know what they have in the way of cheap alphanumeric LCD
displays please? - and at what cost.
When I was over in SC quite a few years ago now, I found ACE to be quite
an interesting place to visit, as they always had lots of surplus
components and systems at very cheap prices. 

I am working on a project which requires a small LCD display. I picked up
a 16 character by 2 line one at a radio rally for a few pounds, but I
really need one just a little larger. I have scoured the ads in electronics
mags for any cheap displays being sold off, but with little success.

I have a friend in SC who might be able to buy one for me and mail it
over to the UK. They are usually quite expensive new, and get more expensive
for the size of display I am after. Ta.
