Regarding the VFD display, although they may be very different one manufacturer
to another, I can definitely dispute a prior statement made that VFDs in general
have a short lifetime and become dim. They are universally used in VCRs, DVD
players, microwave ovens, and some clocks. I have never had one become dim or
burn out. The displays in my appliances are on even when the rest of the
appliance is off. I have never seen one become dim even after 15 years of
on-time.
I look forward to your project.
