Emax

O va not stress enough just how amazing the vfd is. I put one in my Emax Hd Se rack some months ago and it makes using the emax so much faster because of the increased visibility.  It is hard to take a clear photo because they are too brig for cameras but not too bright to look at ( Like blue LEDs can be if they are the ultra bright ones. ). 

Highly recommended. Nice work Jammie! Was it a rack or keyboard emax?

      i have just fitted a noritake itron vfd to robs emax i talked to manufacturer for the exact vieing area size so that the vfd filled the whole screen



they are very bright blue lighted leters and you get glaring when trying to take photo with a digital camera



by fitting this display you can remove the inverter the caps fot the negitive voltage and the pot for changing the angle as pin 3 is nc



you can remove the dc to ac invertor on the main board this is the component that produces the high pitched wine when el foil is dead



you have to wire single cables as trying to fit a ribbon there is not enough room under the display for it as it needs to be as close to the pcb as posibble as its 3 mm bigger than the original lcd 



they look great and would recomend than fitting other types of backlighted lcd modules less hassle in doing mods as no mods are needed just the wiring its a standard serial 8 bit conection pins 1-14
