Changing rangefinder display

I have a hand held laser rangefinder that displays the distance inside (on a tiny LCD), while looking through the optics.

I'd like to have it display on some larger external LCD display, so that I don't have to look through it to read the data.

Seems like I would have to "hijack" this existing signal and work out the interface to some other display.

I am going to crack open the case with my partner and have a look see. Any suggestions?

Is it a character LCD? Do you have any part numbers or pictures for us?

do you know what the controller that powers the LCD display is? (part #)

Check out Bushnell Yardage Pro for display examples.

I have not cracked the case open yet. But will look for controller P/N.

The Bushnell "tech talk rangefinders" page is pretty good, sounds like a laser TOF with LCD readout;
