Hi, I had SP-431 clocks, if interested, please pm me I might have a few boards in stock https://www.kosbo.com/clocks/4-digits-slim-design-sp431-panaplex-clock.html All the best, Konstantin On Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at 4:21:46 AM UTC+3 Richard Scales wrote: > If it was me - I would

If it was me - I would remove the displays and make an 8 digit panaplex clock, as Yohan said, if you want a 12hr clock then use the plus symbol as an am/pm indicator - otherwise - make it a 24hr clock and perhaps use the plus symbol for something else. I have made many different panaplex

You can use the + as a PM indicator On Monday, October 23, 2023 at 3:43:29 PM UTC+2 Adam Piórko wrote: > It looks like VFD displays. If the "plus" is lit, the module seems to be > functioning properly. If you enjoy reverse engineering, you can try to make > a clock from this module. Two things

I think they are these displays: https://www.tubeclockdb.com/on-ebay/179-babcock-sp-431 The camera angle is not great but yea the displays are quite big, with like 2" high digits. Good point with the socketed ICs. I might try that route first before soldering, but I'll also try to map out some

NICE FIND !!! Based on the size-comparison with the DIP ICs/resistors, these look like large displaysmaybe 2 inches tall ? If they really are that big then you definitely want to make a gizmo, probably a clock, with these. It looks like they are direct-drive, and since the IC's appear

Hello I made a "Clock" on a similar one, only I have the model SP-494 and SP-492 https://twitter.com/leoloel/status/1662535750393495552 a few photos понедельник, 23 октября 2023 г. в 16:43:29 UTC+3, Adam Piórko: > It looks like VFD displays. If the "plus" is lit, the module seems to be >

It looks like VFD displays. If the "plus" is lit, the module seems to be functioning properly. If you enjoy reverse engineering, you can try to make a clock from this module. Two things need to be discovered. 1. How to send a digit? If it's a counter, it might be challenging.
