This display looks very nice, if you are interested in building one (and can find the Russian VFD) the device pinout and code for the controller is available on JKX@Home.
Project part 1.
Project part 2.
“After my nixie clock, I decided to build a new one based on a old VFD vacuum tube. In fact, the brother of a friend (which live in Ukrainia) give me a bag of tubes. Beside I already have a little set of this kind, I discover the IV-18. This one, is really big, and perfect for a clock. As you can see this is quite large, and really nice looking. I spent a little time to figure out, how to make it working (reading russian isn’t really easy). After sending a mail to the NeonNixie group, Chris help me to fix my issue.”
Thanks JKX
