Dittel FSG-71M LCD

[Marc Ramsey]

I have a circa '92 Dittel FSG-71M in a newly purchased glider which
works fine, except that the LCD is in bad shape. The digits are barely
readable due to lack of contrast, the LCD glass looks to have sustained
some sort of damage. Has anyone replaced one of these?

Never found it as standard opto-electronics replacement part.
I finally ordered one directly from Walter DITTEL

You get a complete kit with reflector and and contact strips.
I remember it was not expensive and the replacement job
was quite straightforward.

I've replaced two LCDs. They get bad after a few years.
Replacement displays are not very expensive.
I don't remember the details but replacement is straightforward. The
display is clamped between the front panel and a circuit board.
