True. When the display goes black you're pretty much done with it.
I was referring to the other failure modes, either pegging the digits or a
"wandering" display.

Wow! I didn't think there were many left that worked without

(all but the rustbucket SDL) failed by going black or were black when

If you pop open the digital display so you can see the board, more

I wish that was the problem with mine -- mine have turned black, I
suspect from the liquid crystal fluid leaking out.

There's only one that's a standard radial cap (4.7 uf, I think) on the board.
replace that and the display may come back to life.

Now who can come up with an alternative to the dead digital readout
on the dash? $300 does not cut it on most of our budgets. Or, a
thermometer's value does not equal the cost of parts and labor to put
in a factory replacement.
I liked the $2 stickon digital clocks as a clock replacement for
126 is behind the front license plate, top center.

DigiKey, one of the online electronic parts houses. I can post a part number
when I have it handy. I think it was $3.99 and first class postage added a
couple of bucks.

While surfing through some forums recently I found the details on a replacement
thermocouple for the temperature sensor/display used on the 124 chassis. Since
the 300E's thermocouple was toast (reading 128 F continuously) I thought I
would give the replacement a try.
