its +5v and -5v for the filament of the fip then theres a -35v from psu for the anode and cathode suplly
via 2 display drivers 1 does the row 1 does the colume the 1 display driver also does the push button switches and drives the leds for those swithches via led drivers and logic
its the same design used in the eps /eps16+/asr10/vfx-sd/and the ts10/12 until they did the purple lcd screen for the asr88 and later asr10

i'm in Richmond KY. about 100 mi south of Cincinatti.

my thoughts on your VFX:

i don't think there is a -5 volt line: two +5s

there should be a 50-volt output from the power supply for the vacuum display.

when you open the front panel, there will be three connectors to the panel /display board: one on the left, two on the right. check them for corrosion.

thanks for the welcome

bill
