Where can i get a static LED counter? The one i have is more of an orange colour than red. I might have a go at putting red film over the top of my existing one but i'd like to know where to get them anyway.

I know about those but i don't need the whole circuit. I already have the circuit that came with the Spulse. Just want the counter really. I'm just being awkward

you can't take the PUNK outa Spunkmeyer

I'm the one they warned you about

If I remember correctly Maplins and Rapid both have grey faces on their LED Displays, which don't look quite as nice IMO.

RS ones definitely have the Black face.
These I think - http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/sear ... &R=2497771 - check digit sizes

Downside is RS's set postage of around a fiver per order is quite steep unless you are ordering quite a few things.

Ok thanks for the help everyone. i think i like the grey faced ones, but black is probably more accurate?

A pic showing how the grey and black ones look.
Black looks much better and is what is used on most.

If you end up with a grey counter, a bit of smoked perspex will sort it out, as Matsuo provided with my old pride and joy

I've been thinking about replacing the duff display on my Spulse with a BLUE LED 7-seg! Just to help the Xenos out a little bit more!

yeah the bit smoked plexi works wonders need to do that to my one
but alsa despite all my hard work the wiring for my counter didnt last to long after fitting the magazine lol

ok fair enough. Will go with black. I still want to see if maybe a bit of tinted plastic will sort my colour problem out but havent got round to it yet.

_________________

The tinted plexi makes a world of difference. Does your current counter have one?
I've seen people run counters without the tint, and with it. I was amazed myself
at how much of a difference there was in just being able to READ the numbers with
and without the tint in place.

It makes a big difference.

no mine has no tint right now. i'm still keeping an eye out for something to use. i'm in no hurry though, not until i decide to go to a drop and thrash it out at the last minute as always

Ah, okay. The tint/filter might be enough to bring the "orange" color down to a more manageable "red."

Does anyone have a source for the tint film? I bought a set of theatrical gels for my Ghostbusters
proton pack, but the "smoke" color wasn't one of them.

Do you think a smoke one would work? i was thinking about maybe a dark red one.

Seriously, I'd go with the smoked "color." I had red film with my old GEM Reproductions kit, and it looked... off. Swapped in a bit of the smoked film that came from mystery source, and it looked much better. But that is MY personal opinion.
