I had this thing working great until I put it back together! Something is not making a good connection and I cannot figure out if it's one of those stupid ribbon cables or possibly a cold solder joint, I got frustrated with those ribbon cables so I decided to try the original display to see if it's the PCB with the VFD or the one with the diode mod. The original VFD is working perfectly now! A little dim, but working! I ordered a couple of super caps. I'm not messing around with this crap anymore until I get them Thursday.
