I was looking at the 34401A service manual. It shows the VFD pinouts. Looks
like 18 pins topside and 16 pins bottom side and is a 14 seg display. I also
looked at the 53132A manual. The 53131/53132/53181 counters use a 14 seg

Good luck !

Selecting a display mode that lights up characters that are not on the
