Replacement Display?

Can anyone confirm or deny that a Noritake MN12832J will work as a replacement for the MN12832E that was originally installed in the empeg? I have contacted Noritake, and they recommended the J version. After reading other threads, it looks like that is because they no longer produce the E version. Also, there is mention that the J version has a different location for the fill nipple. Could that cause any issues?
Thank you in advance for any help.

I *think* the J version just has shorter pin lengths, it is cheaper than the E though. I'm not sure if the fill nipple position is an issue. Hugo would know.

If you just want to avoid shipping your player, you can buy the display on its own from support for 75UKP including postage (FedEx is extra).

I think we'd all like to find out, seeing as how there seems to have been a rash of broken nipples lately, and a steady stream of replacement parts would be a nice thing to have for the aging fleet of empegs out there...

aging fleet of empegs out there...

Aging?? Sheesh. Mine's just over a year old. Aging! Sheesh.

Me.

I would definately be interested in getting at least one!

I've never tried a J; I guess that you might be able to straighten the pins and get it to fit. I don't think the nipple will cause problems (it'll be above the rotary) but I can't guarantee that.
