I contacted Futaba but they told me they didn't have anything that old for download. /Martin On Monday 5 February 2024 at 13:54:34 UTC+1 Paul Andrews wrote: > Try emailing the contacts listed at > https://www.futaba.co.jp/en/product/vfd.

Try emailing the contacts listed at https://www.futaba.co.jp/en/product/vfd. I’ve got results in the past with various companies that still exist. It isn’t unusual for them to keep old libraries of this stuff.

Thanks, yes I think I will be fine from the information in the diagram for these VFD's. But a data book would be very welcome especially since I have a bunch of other VFD arriving, later and hopefully some of them are from Futaba, as I bought what was left from an old radio/repair shop and I don't know what's in the box yet. I have been looking some more for a Futaba VFD data book but it seems impossible to find one anywhere. /Martin On Thursday 1 February 2024 at 09:58:58 UTC+1 andybiker wrote: > Hi Martin, > > This seems to be a bare VFD, the elektor article gives the pinout and a > fair guess at how to drive the filement. > > I'm not sure you'll find a full datasheet due to the age. > > treat it as any other VFD. > > Cheers, > Andrew > > On Wednesday, January 31, 2024 at 6:58:53 PM UTC Dekatron42 wrote: > >> I've Googled some and haven't been able to find a databook for Futaba VFD >> displays, does anyone know where I can download a PDF? >> >> I'm right now interested in finding a datasheet for the 10*14 pixels >> display DM-4Z 2E that is used in the Elektor June 1983 article "Spectrum >> display". >> >> /Martin >> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.

Hi Martin, This seems to be a bare VFD, the elektor article gives the pinout and a fair guess at how to drive the filement. I'm not sure you'll find a full datasheet due to the age. treat it as any other VFD.
