Source for common cathode 5x7 dot-matrix LED modules

[Ben]

Hi,

I'm looking for a (well, in fact 60 odd) common cathode 5x7 dot matrix
displays (i.e one where the cathodes of each collumn are common, and
the anodes of each row). Ideally 0.7", but anything up to 2" would be
OK. Bizzarely, noone seems to sell them... rs sell common anode for
£1, common ctahode for £5, but theres no reason I can see why they
should cost so much more... futurlec have some 2" ones, but they are a
long way away... any ideas on places nearer to home worth looking?

Cheers,

Ben
