pgrzelak carpal tunnel Registered: 15/08/2000 Posts: 4859 Loc: New Jersey, USA	Greetings! Well, I have contacted everyone who preordered or reserved a VFD. I have some spares. Anyone interested should contact me via email. The price would be $60 shipped. Thanks! _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs

Noritake sells them (bulk >20 units) for $56.xx each. After shipping and repacking, it averages out to just over $60 per. The tiny ones, used as part of foxtrot_xray's kit, are more expensive because they have the circuit board attached on them. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs

The player starts up with a very dim display, afterwards 10-60 seconds later the display went completely dark. I checked everything, but I couldn't find any faults. Finally I replaced the VFD with one from Paul. and the now the empeg is back to live. Thanks again Paul If you have a VFD left, I will take a second. You never know. Andy

pgrzelak carpal tunnel Registered: 15/08/2000 Posts: 4859 Loc: New Jersey, USA	Greetings! Actually, I am out of spares that I had planned to sell at the moment. I wanted to keep three spares for my own units, but in the end I had to sell one of those (I had already committed to the person, but I had not heard in a while and released the VFDs to others). I will hold on to these spares for emergencies / breakages down the road. I will also check to see if Noritake has any lying around in stock still. If I find more in stock, I will post. Meanwhile, the problem that you had is not unheard of. Basically, it is a fault in the VFD itself. There have been a few like that in the past. The only remedy is to replace the VFD, as you have already found out. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs
