Three or more pins are connected when more than one segment lights up. I've got a complete chart on how to make each segment work and realize I will need to create some sort of character set and abstract the display if I want to use it easily. Still trying to make sure I understand transistors and crystals and caps enough to get it to work at all.

   Maybe it is a standard display            01/01/70 00:00      
      It's standard, but I can't find a spec sheet            01/01/70 00:00      
         an old-time part, perhaps?            01/01/70 00:00

               add up the forward voltages, adjust the resistors ...            01/01/70 00:00

                           Be careful ... you only have one of these ... right?            01/01/70 00:00

                        Interesting concept            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Don't think so            01/01/70 00:00      
                           make a FULL schematic            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Of course            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Careful, now!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Diagram mis-labeled, sorry            01/01/70 00:00

            I don't see how            01/01/70 00:00      
               then forget transistors            01/01/70 00:00

            Thanks            01/01/70 00:00      
   It works like this....            01/01/70 00:00

         that was probably I who did that ... and you're right            01/01/70 00:00      
            Well...            01/01/70 00:00      
               take a close look            01/01/70 00:00      
               I doubt it            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Possibly a radio section too            01/01/70 00:00

                     That C### is a capacitor number, I think            01/01/70 00:00      
      How about this?            01/01/70 00:00      
         use PNP at the high side            01/01/70 00:00
