If you want modern features such as Bluetooth, it may be time to buy a new 
display. But you shouldn't discount USB-to-serial converters. They can work 
well, especially if they have an authentic FTDI chipset.
It's more than wanting modern features; although that does play a part in my 
decision. It's the fact that replacement parts are not available for this 
thing any more, and even just sending it in for an estimate on whether or 
not they can fix it at all is going to cost 300 dollars, even if they can't 
do anything. Eventually it is going to stop working, or the cells are going 
to break down, no matter how much isopropyl I use on them.
So, it's time to upgrade and leave the 90s behind.
