Are sure that it was not an LCD display, just like an OM-2S for instance?
LCD segments are not guaranteed for more than about five years or so,
although they usually last much longer. I also had a receiver with an early
LCD display that gradually disappeared. I have also heard that some of the
displays needed an on-board battery that eventually died.

Honestly, I did not contact Meridian. Both units were getting long in the
tooth, at least for digital gear -- 7 or 8 years old -- and would've been
retired soon anyway. I was just a tad put off by the fact that the LED
display on the transport began to gradually disappear, one segment at a
time, so finally there was no clue as to cut, time, etc. I found this more
than slightly annoying. At one point, with the missing segments, they
almost spelled a dirty word. (Like a potty-mouth like me would care!)
Also, for no apparent reason, it decided it didn't want to play CD's that
it had played previously without complaint. When it refused to play a
certain Grateful Dead CD, it went into retirement. I've still got it. You
want it?
