So far the "blood hounds" on here have been able to locate all the odd ball parts I have searched for... Here's a challenge for you!!

I am looking for two of the below pictured LED digit displays, I need the two big ones which are roughly 2 and 1/4 by 1 and 1/2.
I could replace the whole board for $100 (not gonna happen) Because I figure these parts are maybe a couple bucks each...

Think digital clocks would have the same ones in them??

Ok scratch the display, I did a little more bench testing and don't think it's the problem... I now suspect the ribbon cable, which I am also having issues finding it is a 16 pin (2 rows of 8 pins) and its around 6 feet long... any ideas on that one?
 
I was going to say, I think I have a display like that, but not the exact same one.

You can probably test the numbers too if you look up the pinout and use a AA battery or something to try to light up the various segments.

I'd look at digi-key or mouser - you should be able to buy ribbon cable in rolls as long as you want.
