Regarding the VFD display, although they may be very different one manufacturer to another, I can definitely dispute a prior statement made that VFDs in general have a short lifetime and become dim. They are universally used in VCRs, DVD players, microwave ovens, and some clocks. I have never had one become dim or burn out. The displays in my appliances are on even when the rest of the appliance is off. I have never seen one become dim even after 15 years of on-time.
I look forward to your project. 73, Jeffrey Pawlan, WA6KBL _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
