I built a solid state turn coordinator with LED display that would run
for about 24 hours on a pair of alkaline batteries. I never got around
to moving it off the breadboard and into a nice package. There is a

the size of a deck of cards with row of LEDs on one edge, but of course
now I can't find the name of it.


This perhaps?

It's $500. Is that a reasonable price?
