HawkDriver Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 I have a kln-89b with a pretty sun damaged display. Is it possible to just replace the display or is that something that would require the whole unit to be replaced? Quote
jetdriven Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 Displays are discontinued long ago. It's a king thing. I just sold a whole kln-89b for 500$ that's the going rate. Quote

XXX Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 Another option is the KLN 94. It's plug and play and you can find them for a reasonable cost on eBay or avionics shops. Quote
HawkDriver Posted July 30, 2017 Author Report Posted July 30, 2017 Great, I guess I'm in the market for a KLN 94 now if it's just an easy swap.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
HawkDriver Posted July 30, 2017 Author Report Posted July 30, 2017 Are you talking about the lens or the electronic display? It seems to just be the clear lease. The display works just fine. It's just hard to read sometimes due to the poor condition of the lenseSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 If they are not available you can just remove the lens. It would be better then what you have now. You may be able to fabricate one with a little mill work. 1 Quote
Jerry 5TJ Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 You could duplicate the lens in thin acrylic using a CNC laser etching machine. Quote

RLCarter Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 LCD screens have a polarized film so you can read them, my digital clock/timer looked like that. You can buy a polarized film sheet with adhesive, I got mine from a guys that repairs cell phones and tablets. After cleaning the old stuff off I laid the new piece on it for orientation, it has to be kept square and if you rotate the film 90° it will invert the colors. Cheap fix (10 bucks) for an over priced $500 clock Quote

If you measure exactly the size you need she can make you the lens. (put the unit, take the front bezel off and measure the inside dimensions of the lens). Or after you pull the front off, pop out the lens, mail it to her and she will duplicate it. http://www.ebay.com/usr/pinkheart09?ul_noapp=true 1 Quote

I can send the original back with the new lens.CNDPO BOX 70842 fort lauderdale fl 33307 1 Quote

StevenL757 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Posted August 4, 2017 Hawk - if you still need this, send me a PM. I have a KLN89B unit that I can part with...will be at the hangar later this afternoon and will snap a pic and you can see if it's something you still want. The display is a solid 8/10, IIRC.
