Carl's DSKY relight project short video
Added 2020-07-08 00:05:43 +0000 UTCCarl has released a nice short video were he shows his progress on re-lighting two original Apollo DSKY displays. He has now switched on the second display which is similar to the flown ones, and has the more greenish final color. This spare display was never used, and appears to be in superb shape. I'd say this is some spectacular looking digital display to this day. Imagine that in 1966 - that must have felt like science fiction!

It is such a wonderful font for the numerals. I like how the segments are not identical stretched out hexagons like in most 7 segment displays. Instead each one has a nice specific shape giving it a much more beautiful futuristic look. I really love the sound. Like little mechanical insects working behind the glass. Now we can have the distinct 1202 alarm as a sound file i suppose.
