Unsure if you can buy them still. Would have thought you could strip it from a second hand set of dials easily though.
If not, you can buy small 8-segmant display from companies like RS or Farnell (CPC). Driver kit to display time / temp / stopwatch / countdown / etc are only a couple of quid.

Aye, it's finding / paying for a set of dials when I just need the lcd :?

I don't think those would be a "like for like" replacement and the "clock adjust" buttons and mounting the whole thing would likely be a lot of faffing.

Ta for the idea though :good:
