Apologies for the delayed response - my ISP changed servers and outgoing mail has stopped. I posted links to schematics I scanned from a pinball user manual. A zip is in my Dropbox at https://www.dropbox.com/s/bltgd4w4o9gonuy/Alvin_G_Display.zip?dl=0 - I think someone already pointed you at these. I sent a display to Andrew Jardine, who is quite good with these VFD displays and pinball and he was going to see if he could fire one up, but I suppose he’s got bogged down in real life when he really should be fixing up old tech. for me. He's in this group, so he may comment. For myself I’ve not started with the displays either, so I suppose I am just as guilty. I was really annoyed with the way my 10 displays were packed. Layered loose side by side in bubble wrap and they’d all been moving about. The large cap on the back was ripped off half of them and one display had broken glass, so it’s useless. The guy said he’d packed them well and wasn’t interested in my complaint.
