Accidentally sent before proofreading  VFD pinouts are easy to reverse engineer, find the cathode pins by checking for ones with continuity (usually the ones at the outer edges), you can find the heater voltage by using a buck converter and raising the voltage to a bit under where it starts to

For what it's worth, it fits the same 14 pin socket as the 3LO1 and 6LO1 small CRTs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to
