I found out that these VFDs were used in the 2008ish era chrysler factory radios.

A few new ones added to my collection, AND a noritake VFD sample from noritake themselves, KS0108 compatible!

I have been at it again.

These Futaba displays are actually on ebay right now for a mere $2.50 a piece. So i got a few and built a circuit.
