Led Tank and clock displays

You can purchase numerical readouts from: http://www.digikey.com/

They sell almost any electronic component you could wish for. Radio shack doesn't havemany componentsany more.

If they are not on a board and are connected with wires thats easier yet. Radio schack has a variety of L E Ds in a variety of colors and a couple sizes (5mm or 10mm). Some are in mounting rings that allowÂthem to snap into a mounting hole in a panel and these are usually set up already for a certain voltage like 12 volt. If you buy justÂthe L E D by itself, you will have toÂsolder a resistor to theÂpositive wire from the L EÂD because the L E D only usesÂbetween 3 and 4 volts, usually for 12 volt a 1000 ohm resistor is what is needed. L E Ds are positive/negative specific,Âand if you are adding a resistor, solder it to the positveÂwire from the L EÂD. If you reverse the polarityÂit doesn't damage the L E D, itÂjust won't light.
