A close-up photo of two small "bubble" displays. They are very small LED number displays, grouped in four digits with 12 electrical pins either side. They are made from translucent red plastic. Text on one says: QDSP-6064 HP MALAYSIA X 99Q3

   I have a weird #electronics / #maker question. All comments, suggestions, boosts welcome.

   About a decade ago, I bought these HP QDSP-6064 bubble displays. Can't remember what I originally wanted to do with them, but now I'm idly thinking some kind of low-brightness bedside clock.

   Thing is - I know these are pretty rare now. Would they be better off in the hands of a restorer or other collector? Is there a more worthy project out there actively looking for some? Am I over-thinking this?
