Title: Flat Panel
Post by: Fay on Mar 12, 2015, 10:24:40
I have a Gerd Neumann round flat panel.it fell off the top of the scope and pulled the flimsy wires out!

a new one is around £60!

does anyone know where I can buy just the flimsy light panel film, instead of buying the whole thing?

I bought one off EBay once, but cant remember what the term is for these panels.

Thanks

Can it be resolder or rewired?

Electroluminescent is the word you're looking for.

Or you could solder - nothing ventured !
