Interestingly, I've never noticed any stuck discs. I'm pretty observant of them as well, because I think they're so cool.

- Gigachad 5mo agoThe ones here could have been nearing the end of their life to be fair. They have basically all been replaced with LED signs now.
- breakfastny 5mo agoThis is BREAKFAST (AKA Zolty) mentioned above. The old panels had diode issues. It wasn’t the mechanism failing — the simplicity of electromagnets means they last an insanely long time, significantly longer than an LED. The diodes were just cheap and undersized. If you have a stuck disc on an old board, 99% chance you just need to replace the diode. If it still flips but gets stuck on one side, a pin has gotten sticky and needs graphite applied.
