“Personal Electronic Retro Telegram”

Iain Sharpe made this lovely custom scrolling LED display as an Easter present for his girlfriend, Claire.

Present made for my lovely girlfriend. Based on a first-generation 1970s HP seven segment LED display that I was given. I loved the retro feel and decided to make a proper gadget with it. Presentation box in background made from printouts of the PCB layout.

[Thanks, John!]

    Wow, that would make a nice little kit wouldn’t it?
