I noticed that some vendors list a generic lcd for the PBs 145/145b/160/165, does it mean that I can transplant the good of an otherwise busted 145b onto the 160 and get the 4 bit?

I did the transplant, it works at 16 greys, so we can assume the PB 145b LCD can display greys, and the 1 bit limit is a limit of the video chip of the 140/145/145b/170 boards.

Unfortunately there are some artifacts and eccessive gosting but I cannot test this 145b LCD on the 145b since the lobo is busted.

Took both thing apert: same part #, so I can conclude that 145/160/165 snare the same LCD.

I(and I am sure many others) could have told you this in the first place as over the years we have looked and swapped and whatnot.
