Looking for the feasibility of an Arduino device to be able to simulate a pinball machine display. There would be (4) 6 digit 7-segment LED's that would need to rotate displaying 6 digit numbers.
Any advice on the feasibility would be appreciate.
Using a few MAX7219 this would be very simple.
Do you mean physically rotate? Or just simulate rotation by changing the display.

Maybe not what you want in your mechanical,concept, but it makes experimentation easy.

Don’t want to simulate the old reel type displays, but the newer digital led ones.
They would flash the last score played, the the high scores, then repeat.

Either way, a matrix display would be more versatile.

Those are all great suggestions, but I need a pretty specific size since they have to fit in a Pinball machine backglass - 110X30mm. Other colors than red would nice too.
Any sources for something like that?
Well, you in luck maybe…

Adafruit 7segment should fit quite well.
4 digits take 50.0mm x 27.0mm x 4.0mm / 2.0" x 1.1" x 0.2"
