Thanks for the feedback guys. Yeah, I did some more reading on VFDs yesterday and apparently those getters aren't really burn marks, they're part of the manufacturing process (of course you guys would already know this, but new to me, heh)

It seems now I'll need to do a lot more probing. A whole lot really. The tube is mounted on a PCB which is connected to yet another PCB via 2 sockets, so tracing is gonna be a major pain. But at least now I have some ideas on what I should be looking for.

Thanks again. Really appreciate it. I'll post again soon once done with all the probing.. -sigh-
