LCD for Fluke 80's Benchtop Meter

[cynicmonster]

Hi All,

Please find below a copy of a letter sent to Fluke re: LCD display:

'To Whom It May Concern,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask about this, but I figure its a good place to start.

I have recently been given a couple of old (early '80's) benchtop multimeters which I figure would go nicely on my test bench.

Unfortunately the LCD's are damaged and I am wondering if the part is still available:

Unit: 8050A Digital Multimeter
LCD Details: Fluke Stock No.: 507673
Mfg Sply Code: 89536
Mfg Part or Type: 507673

These are the part details as listed in the instruction manual dated Oct. 1979.

Am I wasting my time trying to resurrect these instruments? I look forward to your reply.'

I am looking for at least 1 (preferably 2) displays. Fluke's response was that the parts are no longer available (which I believe).

Any old units lying around out there?
