I find myself in the need for some large seven-segment displays, kind of like what you'd find on a Skee-Ball machine. I'm looking for something around four to six inches. LED or electromechanical would be fine.
Digikey has a few 6" LED displays that are pretty pricey at around $30 per digit. I need four digits in two pairs.
Does anyone happen to know a way I can make this work without dropping so much cash?

New ones are quite expensive. Here is a link to some 4 inchers 7 Seg (http://www.futurlec.com/Single_7_Segment.shtml)
You might be able to find some in a surplus shop that are cheaper.
Here are some 5 inchers for $13 Surplus (http://www.elexp.com/opt_0165.htm)
