What you're paying for is the engineering effort that figured out how to put a more modern display in an old device. It's not an exact replacement. They tell you that. They even sell a new bezel to adapt this display to the old sampler. It's expensive because the market for this is tiny.
You can duplicate that effort. You can buy one, figure out what display they are using, and order more. You can order the bezel and duplicate it on a laser cutter.
Is it worth it?
- c22 2y agoIn my experience this sort of thing is definitely worth it due to the knowledge and insights you will gain. However, monetarily, expect to spend 2-3x the cost of the commercial offering (you will go through at least 2 and likely 4 or more revisions and components will cost more in low quantities).
