Hi

I'm looking for a particular 16 character star burst VFDs.  They were sold on Ebay as trays of 25 devices and carry the Itron number FG165S1.



If you have any spare for selling or swapping would you contact me off the list please.

Ta Grahame

Yep, that's my fallback - was really looking for a swap as I have lots
of other things that glow (although not as many as some).

but thanks

I have an attic full (About 2K) of these Itron FG326A-2.  They are 32 character/14 segments with DP.  Let me know if you want some.

Thanks for the offer - the particular VFD fits a PCB I made a few years ago.  But the VFD you have would be twice the fun.

To everyone who has offered help, VFDs and links a big thankyou.  Nick deSmith (who at only 700 miles away is probably the geographically the closest) has offered me some of the exact VFDs I am looking for.

Cheers Grahame

Interesting concept, however I'm not sure that VFDs have feelings :)

It might be more to do with there being 25 VFDs in a tray ....
