Yup. Well, that's why I posted the pics... with the mention of the Sharps/ I have a little small Sharp collection too. Many of them from the 80s (graphing, science, pocket computers). The thing about the TRS80 is that there weren't that many of them before they were discontinued and most of those look really bad today; and forget replacing the display, there just aren't any like that/ Well, you might find a 24 character one line display but it would not have the correct annunciators and the size would probably not be right. I am not hearing of anyone having them repaired.

I have an old Fluke meter from back in my field engineering days (that sucker was almost $2000 dollars new) and its display is black (gone). sigh
