[Techtoolslist] Looking for a 9100A VFD display

[Andre Huijts]

OK guys………to say that this made me happy is an understatement……







70V fuse (125mA) was blown !!!! Baffled why but who cares….

Replaced it and I was immediately greeted with the beautiful look of VFD glow :)


PFFFFEEEEEEWWWWW…… !!!!


Now…..I seriously need to repair the plastic front…..if anyone has a completely dead front unit they don’t need anymore…… :D

Cheers, André

>> Oh no..... ;( looks like the VFD display on my 9100A has dies and the worst of it is that it's my own bloody stupid fault....the front of my 9100A was pretty loose because of others before me opening it not so carefully and the plastic "clips" probably becoming a bit more brittle over the years.
