Subject: 486 case LED display jumpers
Anybody happen to have the jumper diagram to set a LED
2 digit case speed setting? The PCB has ST-8A on it if that helps.

I do, but it's such poor quality that a scan would be illegible.
Oriented with the four pin connector at top right:
The four pins are: +5, Gnd, Turbo LED, NC
The three pins are the turbo switch: Low, common, High.
The bottom row of 28 is the tens digit, and the one above it the units.
Optionally there may be another four for a hundreds "1" digit which you
apparently don't have.
Segments are a-g left to right, and each segment is controlled by four
pins arranged in a 'T', alternately upside-down and right-side-up.
a b c
x xxx x
xxx x xxx etc. (spread apart for clarity)
The junction of the three "bars" goes to the segment, and the three end
points are the power source:
Looking at each "T" in its proper orientation:
Jumper down the leg = always on.
Jumper on the left bar = on with turbo
Jumper on right bar = on with normal
Segments are named the usual way, a-f clockwise with a on top, g in the centre.
Clear as mud?
Hope it helps; almost as much fun as figuring it out yourself...
