Everyone can do this. Just get some display polish paste,
disassemble your Newton and polish the display for some
time. This has turned quite a few unusable 2x00 displays I
had into quite good displays with barely noticeable
scratches. This is because most bad spots on the display
aren't really scratches or dents, but "blind spots" on
the digitizer foil. Said blind spots can be 100% removed
with polish paste. However, you'd need to polish the
whole display, not only the blind spots. Otherwise you'd
have patches with partially removed antireflective
coating which looks terrible.
