Since the VFD's in the 9005/9010's will eventually fail given enough time, handling, or use, my approach was simply to discuss a retrofit of the VFD to something non-VFD.
Not to mention that itron displays are still VFD tech, hard to come by (even in-production itron P/N's can be difficult to source), and still have the issues of being a VFD.
A new production VFD should last a considerable time. Comparing one to an original Fluke unit from the 80s seems misplaced. I don't disagree that they are hard(er) to find and quite expensive but you retain "the look" of the original. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ftp.flippers.com/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
