YEAH!
My damn RYTM screen is toasted.
Well, I just ordered one of the white-on-black screens. Will report back here on how the install went.

White on black is definitely more read-able. Noticed graphics on my A4 that I hadn’t with my old display. Worth it. Not to bad to pull off skill wise. Maybe a bit of hassle to pull of the old display.
Looks a bit more awesome when powered down as well, black versus grey.

Was this bought from the link I gave earlier? Thinking of doing this to my A4. https://reverb.com/item/6622500-led-display-upgrade-elektron-analog-four-heat-keys-rytm-custom-white-on-black-dot-matrix-display#login-form
No, it was from eBay. I’ll see if I can find my order and check the model numbers.

Dear, your A4 is beautiful ! What are those knobs you putted on ?
Are they taller than the older one ?
Cheers
Thanks, I agree the knobs are pretty sharp.
I put them on the same time I replaced my pots as they were getting loose and sketchy.
I’ll look back and see where I got them from, been awhile since I did it.
Same height, super easy mod; pull off old pop on new.
I have ordered the black screen in my link above. It will match my Octa MkII
How much is difficult to desolder the old one and solder the new one? Have pics of the process? thank you!
I tried screen replacement…
Unless you have really GOOD soldering gear and skills…DO NOT ATTEMPT.
send it in to elektron to do or pay someone to do it.
Its double thru hole and very tight.
I MURDERED my MD trying. I mean it was a fucking mess. So sad. But as i have said, elektron helped me save my MD. Thank you elektron!

So what is the part number (link?) ?

Hi sorry for delay, super busy these days. I couldn’t find any part numbers in my email history, and eBay link is now dead.
Next time I open her up, I’ll have a look. By then will be too late for you i imagine. Apologies again! And I might not be able to see the PN anyways.
Worth doing though, makes the A4 way more usable IMHO.
That screen on Reverb link you posted looks correct. Looks very similar to mine, if not better.
It wasn’t the easiest thing to do, I have years of soldering and desodering experience. Used to be my job… if you haven’t soldered before I wouldn’t attempt it.
No pics, super low on time when I did it.
To change the pots you basically have to cut them out, pull the pins still soldered in the vias then suck out the solder with either wick or the big blue vacuum sucker pump, if you’ve soldered before you will know what I am talking about. If you haven’t, turn back now 
Basically the same process for the display; snip all the leads pull out the left over pins soldered in the PCB, heat up either side as you rock out the display from the large support vias. And suck out the solder. Once you have it out and holes clean you are on easy street.
Cleaning is a pain as I am a fan of resin flux, but I’ve got my tricks for that part.
Good luck if you attempt it and feel free to ask me questions if you start, I’ll try and be a bit more Johnny on the spot.

I wish I could do it…my screen is starting to fade.
Thanks for trying to be helpful but unfortunately there is still no answer to the question.
I seriously doubt you will desolder the screen to read the PN as this is the only way to do so.
Anyway the search still goes on.
