If you liked the pneumatic segmented display like I did, here is a meditative video on alternative segmented displays. ▶ this video No affiliation, just one of my favourite videos.

A similar channel in style, thoroughness and love for the 80s and 90s is Posy. link Recommended if you want to see deep, geeky and fun explorations of the world of liquid crystal displays, Hi-Fi stereos and anything that tickles his fancy. A good starting point: "Segmented Displays" — ▶ this video
