This is mostly a page to collect information about the VFD's we acquired from Stuut&Bruin, which will ultimately be used in the air-hockey scoreboard replacement.

They have been manufactured by Futuba, type numbers 5-LT-02 and 4-LT-16.

     NOTE: THE 10K RESISTORS NEED TO BE PULL-UPS (AND THUS CONNECT TO +12V INSTEAD OF GROUND)
