I have a display where one segment goes missing occasionally.  I found
that blowing on the display brings it back, so it can't be anything
serious.  Luckily it's one in the bandwidth display...

The trouble is the receiver is racked up with a RA-17 and it's an absolute
pain to move the rack to unplug the connectors and get the rx out to sort
things :-(
