Looking for LCD Screen PM3/4

[waynerwalsh]

Long story short, I basically came across a guy who's bought up a pile of old gym equipment and he was sitting on a couple of model D concept two machines, badly broken down and basically scrapped.
Managed to build one decent PM3 and get it operational but there is a crack in the LCD screen.
Wondering if anyone is willing to mail a screen they do not need to Canada. I'd cover the charges of course. Yes I know I can also get them directly from Concept2 but I'm very frugal lol.
If you're willing to help out shoot me a private message or reply here.
Thanks!

Buy a new screen mate. Concept 2 changed manufacturers over the years. The early gold cable one had no end of problems and the contrast setting required was all over the place. The newer version has a white cable and is much better.

Thanks for the insight Carl! I suspect I’ll be in touch with you if I have any other questions

Check the LCD Contrast setting on your monitor. The new screens are very consistent at about 134. The old screens had a default setting of between about 30 and over 200. You cannot change the default setting which can be a bit of a problem as it may come on after a battery change either so dark or so light you cannot read it without tilting the monitor. You then need to change the LCD Contrast setting ASAP and go back to changing the full date and time.
