My obscure interest: Vacuum Fluorescent Displays

[ChopperChas]

Hey, I got a replacement VFD off of eBay for $25. It was for a CT-F800, but it looked like the same part and I took a chance. It was the correct part! It included the control board and everything, so I just hooked it up and screwed it in place, and it worked perfectly first time. Now all I need to do is re-belt this deck and then adjust it with my test tapes, meters, and signal generators, and it'll be good to go.

awesome you got it fixed. I got enough VU meter style VFDs laying around here to choke a horse. Even the one you needed. Anyways...

Here is my latest project that I have been working on:

I have a whole crate of these I got from a contact out of the Ukraine. I am designing a "retro" audio spectrum analyzer using individual VFD tubes.

And... Here it is. First power-up after assembly, but before any code is written yet for the MCUs.
