It's not every day that a piece of tech history is uncovered, but don't go searching through your old tech hoping to find a hidden gem.

    That red dot display reminds me of something I saw in the late 70s but can’t recall what. Was it commonly used on other devices?

      While I was looking for information about the display I found a lot of references to similar ones used in pinball machines

      so maybe that?

      Today they’ve mostly been replaced by LED panels.

        That is probably it. Thanks
