I believe it uses the same display, one that can theoretically be cannibalized. AFAIK others in the Pioneer series use different displays that probably are not compatible, with the possible exception of the HP-14B and HP-22S.

The 32S and 32SII LCDs are *not* the same. The 32SII has taller digits, and while most of the annunciator segments are quite similar, the 32S has only 1 shift (yellow) while the 32SII has 2 shifts (yellow and blue) each of which have a dedicated shift annunicator (seen as Left or Right arrows respectively). It was indeed unexpected that the Pioneers each have a unique LCD when I first looked closely at them. But I never noticed until your comments that the 14B and 22S are the same. Probably the 2 least popular (and maybe least interesting) Pioneer models could be the reason why.

So, I'm still learning new things about these old things, despite spending years examining these interesting things.
