Link to display is dead

The link here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004454598585.html is dead.
AFAIR it was a CLAA070MA0ACW (Dimensions 154 × 119,2 × 5,4).

Thanks! The link works for me, but I'll embellish it a bit so that it can be easily googled if it doesn't work for people....

I think that would be great for people who want to get the same hardware, thanks! :)
I checked again, it says "Sorry, the page you requested can not be found:(" but in in a small font (which I didn't notice the first time) "Sorry, this item is currently not available at your location" (in your local language).
But this link works for me:

At least for me, the display does not fit well at all, an awful lot of filing seems to be necessary. FYI: there are definitively several versions of the hanimex out, e.g. without the switch in front. Will you be doing a "making of" video later or could you share some pictures of the inside? Maybe removing the front cover and using a drill is the way to go...

Thanks for the inspiration! :)

Someone did a pretty comprehensive 'making of' series of videos, based on what we made. Making a more in depth one is definitely an item hanging round on our 'maybe do' list.

The other thing we'd include is the workflow of using it. Since we put it together we've been using it for more and more, thanks to tmux and a few terminal apps: https://fosstodon.org/@veeb/109320641345225275

The filing is a pain, but worth it. I think some people used a Dremel. Anything you did that made life easier would be welcome input to this repository.

I'll add the details to the readme. Closing for now. Thanks and enjoy!
