Actually, macdan has a solution that does not involve finding the same hinges (all three displays use different hinges, but the same clutch). All you need to do is pop off the clutch from the 2 and swap. here's the page:

getting back to my topic, I am totally stumped here. No signs of life, but it does chime. Oddest thing in the world.

Makes me wonder if the clutches from a Lombard would work. I too have a 300mhz Wallstreet II with one bad hinge and a spare Lombard display with hinges. If I could swap those out the Wallstreet would be usable again....

After disassembling both the Wallstreet and Lombard displays, I can say the answer to this question is NO! At least on the Wallstreet the issue appears to be the clutch itself.
