I've taken some pictures, but the general idea is that the LCD is 16x2 and should be around 84x44mm. I don't see an EL-Panel or an inverter on this model so perhaps it's LED backlit-I don't know, but it's an old (circa 1994) drum machine.

and here is the CrystalFontz backlight I found that I thought might work, I'd like to have a different color than the original green/yellow.

do you think it would work? or would something be more suitable? also where can I find a replacement ribbon cable like the original? I've tried in the past and because there are so many solderpoints on those ribbons I usually end up destroying them.
Thanks in advance!
