Emax

look good will work but you will have to wire it the same way as the vfd

for it to be a 1 for 1 drop in replacement you need the 14 pins to be side parralel connection like the emax one is already

you will also need to measure the thickness of the original display as this one is 10mm and some are thinner at 8mm

2mm is ok as there is allowance of this size but any more thickness and it means lots of case modification

So that means I have to desolder them from the display unit so that they're still on the pcb fixed by the red connector box AND THEN soldering them to the new display (sounds easier than I thought before...) BUT ARE THE POSITIONS OF THE CONTACTS PARALLEL?
