That red dot display reminds me of something I saw in the late 70s but can't recall what. Was it commonly used on other devices?

While I was looking for information about the display I found a lot of references to similar ones used in pinball machines

so maybe that?

Today they've mostly been replaced by LED panels.

That is probably it. Thanks
