I think that hey key to total success for these displays is to use a true 5V A/C for the filaments. Many have used transformers to achieve this but some have produced small power supplies for true 5VAC. I bought a couple of them and they are sitting here ready for a window of opportunity to drive them. The rest is fairly simple (I believe!) and there are a number of different drivers that people have used to switch the segments. After that I plan to use my regular panaplex clock code to actually form the displays. It's all just a matter of time ...... - Richard
