Hi, I am glad to announce that the display module is back in stock.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/154821741995

The delay was due to the exhaustion of the eBay selling limit for a month.

Regards, AHOL

I would also like to buy some...is there another source?

AHOL · « **Reply #52 on:** February 05, 2022, 05:06:55 pm »

Hi Teichhermelin, thank you for your interest!

The fact is that my current rating on ebay does not allow me to sell more than 10 pcs. per month.
The automatic request to increase the limit he tells me to take a hike...
I wrote an application for an increase in the limit, if they agree, I will soon put up a new batch, if not, then only in early March I will be able to continue selling.

In any case, I will report it here.

P.S.
If colleagues who bought leave their feedback on ebay, it will help to increase the rating and increase the limits.

Best wishes

Have you considered using tindie.com ?

No, I didn't know about it, I'll look into it.
Thanks for the tip.

This looks awesome! I would love to buy one if you find a way to sell them.

An 8840a is in my want list, so I grabbed one of these modules. Looks really nice!

Anyone heard from our Ukrainian LED display maker AHOL?

giosif · « **Reply #58 on:** March 22, 2022, 08:03:16 pm »

No and I hope he's ok.

Mandokahn · « **Reply #59 on:** May 13, 2022, 04:15:03 am »

Hi folks,
I had a short conversation with AHOL via the ebay contact beginning April and in fact he told me that he hopes to resume his activities after the war (victory of ukraine).

This is what I hope as well!!

Will these be available anymore? Looking for three sets ... thanks

AHOL · « **Reply #61 on:** September 03, 2022, 04:52:01 pm »

Hi all! I'm trying to restart production. The price has increased slightly due to logistics costs.
Here is a link to the listing:

P.S. Thanks to EVERYONE who expressed and expresses support and offers to help.

I suggest selling it with connectors crimped on wires. Not everyone who needs this has a proper tool to crimp.

If you work on the display issue of Fluke 45, I believe you'll find many customers including me .
It shouldn't be very difficult for you.. Right ?
I suggest you change the font and font size in next time. The fonts are a bit small in existing case.

The idea is not bad, but I think you can crimp two wires neatly even with pliers or solder. I will think about your offer.

Above, I described that changing fonts will change the display geometry. So it is similar in size (only the font is a little smaller) to the original, when you change the fonts it will look completely different and I don’t know if users will like it or not.

Pliers is a very bad idea. Reliability will be atrocious and wire can be pulled out with a little bit of force.

AHOL · « **Reply #67 on:** September 04, 2022, 10:26:55 am »

So I say that additionally solder.

Mandokahn · « **Reply #68 on:** September 24, 2022, 06:49:29 pm »

Hello AHOL, I received your display today and already replaced the old one.
The desoldering of the old one was tricky as the copper lines of the base board are very sensitive.
But at the end everyting works perfect.
It took me about 2 hours.
Thank you very much!!

I would very happily buy something similar to this made to suit the HP53131A and similar counters.

Thanks for your interest in the module.
The fact is that the production of any module is associated with rather high costs. It cannot be produced in single copies. Capital investments amount to several thousand dollars.
There were many proposals for various modules. Unfortunately, this is currently not possible. Perhaps in the future, after the payback of this project, I will think about creating other modules.
Regards.

+1 for another display

Crimped connectors would be nice, but not an absolute necessity. Just make sure to add extra length so if people(me) fail the first time, they can cut the wire shorter and try again.

I have an 8842 on the way from ebay. I have no idea what the display looks like, but I'll buy one of yours anyway just to have for the future.

Price is a tricky issue for sellers, but I would not mind paying more for custom parts that keep a great meter alive.

I wish you and your country the best
