I once had a very annoying intermittent problem with a Heathkit frequency
counter.  Just opening the case would correct the problem!  To make a long
story short - I was not sure if the problem was the "digit" or the driver.
The displays were plugged in so I swapped the problem digit into another
location to see if the problem moved or remained in the same place.  I got
lucky in that the problem went away permanently.  In my case the problem was
a bad connection in the socket that cleared up when I switched "digits"
around.  These were also 7 segment LED displays. Perhaps similar testing
will prove helpful IF the displays in the Scout are in sockets.
